Vim 5.4 introduced the 'softtabstop' option. On top of the (hard) tab stops
used to display the horizontal tab characters in the text, Vim adds extra
soft tab stops dedicated only to the cursor. When 'softtabstop' is set to a

+positive value, the <Tab> key will push the cursor to the next soft tab
stop. Vim will insert the correct combination of tab characters and spaces to
