I frequently use TextWrangler on my MacBook Air to do some quick coding. One of the problems I have encountered is that when I switch back to Notepad++ on Windows, my spaces become tabs. I’ve set TextWrangler to use spaces instead of tabs and I wanted to mirror the same settings in Notepad++.
To change the tabs setting go to: Settings > Preferences > Language Menu/Tab Settings. Then on the right, you can set a global default for tabs or spaces, and the number of spaces per tab. You can additionally specify customized tabs/spaces settings for each language supported with the menu above.
Once again, happy tabbing.
With Notepad++ 5.8.7.
tab to space is not working properly.
When I try to change default tab from 4 to 3, it always shows 4 (there is No OK button). Some times NotePad++ converts tab to 4 spaces, and sometime does not convert. It is a real bug
