[Nano-devel] tabs to spaces patch

[David Redick]

this is for nano 1.0.9 (may work for other versions)

affects: nano.c, global.c, proto.h
adds option "-S" or "--tabspaces"

effect: went ever user hits tab key or ^i spaces are created instead of \t
the number of spaces depends on tabsize which can be changed
by "-T n" or "--tabsize=n"


Look at the do_char() function in nano.c
is there a better way to insert the spaces?


TODO
add option that overrides "-S" so that ^i will create tabs
but tab key still creates spaces.
I think this would be useful for Makefiles.
