Follow-up Comment #12, bug #59916 (project octave): [comment #11 comment #11:] > ... it would be nice to disable tab as a special character when we know we are pasting text. Totally agree to this. At the moment I cannot imagine a very concrete scenario of mine and I strive to avoid tabs wherever possible, I just thought of Makefiles which literally need a tab [controllable by ".RECIPEPREFIX" https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Special-Variables.html]. Is it possible to throw a warning when tabs get replaced by spaces. Making a check if a string contains literal tabs is on the level of user input not a performance killer I think. Otherwise debugging potential problems with this becomes very difficult. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59916> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
