It's fine for me that it requires to have the whole line selected.
My tests revealed that "spaces to tabs" only replaces the leading spaces
but "tabs to space" replaces all tabs with spaces (as wanted).
So this seems to be a bit inconsistent.
Also it would be nice if I could put the action on the toolbar or the
menu (e.g. under "edit/format).
The menu would be my preferred solution as I am used to it from other
IDEs/GUIs.
Looks like that the feature could be improved. Maybe I will do it
sometime in the future, but not now.
Thanks for all help/answers!
Regards,
Lars

Hi All,
I would like to know if there is a way to tabify/untabify a portion of
selected text?
I know I can mark text and change the indentation with tab/shift tab
and that will also delete tabs (if configured).
But it does only delete the tab on the start of the line before the
first token.
E.g. '-->token-->nextToken;' becomes '....token-->nextToken;' ('.' =
one space, '-->' = one tab).
I would like it to become '....token....nextToken;'.
How can I do that, only for a selection - not for the whole document.
I've wanted that a few times as well. One reasonable way would be to
change the `Document->Replace [tabs|spaces] with [tabs|spaces]` options
to only affect the current selection if there is one. It just requires
someone who cares enough to implement it :)
Someone did a while ago and it made it in 1.26 already ;)
https://github.com/geany/geany/pull/394
So, just select some lines and use that feature and it should do what
you like. WFM at least :)
Doesn't work here, internal spaces/tabs aren't replaced like the OP is
asking about. That PR seems to only affect leading indentation and
only when the whole line is selected.
