It would always be nice to be consistent and one of the most annoying things are having mixture of tab and spaces for indentation of bullet-points in markdown.
I would like to propose the idea of having an option in the settings that the user can say if a tab should stay a tab, or it should be transformed into space characters, and then if so, how many spaces. This is a very common option in IDEs and editors.
P.s: I didn't find similar feature request by searching "tab space" in the forum's searchbox or github's issues exept this one which is somehow related:
I'd like to see this, too. One place where it causes a problem is when I'm indenting in a code block. I tab until a comment, e.g., appears aligned in the editor, but then in the rendered view it's over-indented:
I'm not sure why the editor doesn't match the rendered view in this case, but maybe the following plugin - that changes the default indentation to spaces - may be useful. it can also be used to change how tabs are presented in the editor (their size in spaces), if you wish to keep using tabs but want to align them better with the rendered view. it doesn't replace the spaces/tabs that currently appear in your notes, though.
