Suggestion to rework tabs/spaces commands

Open Alexey-T opened this issue 4 years ago • 6 comments

For tabs/spaces work, currently app has the weird checkboxes in the "File Properties" dlg.

I suggest to make it like in Sublime Text and CudaText.

  • make the "Tabs" or "Spaces" cell in the lower statusbar
  • on clicking this cell, show dropdown menu with several check-items, and/or commands

CudaText has this

  • if "tabs as spaces" on: statusbar cell name is "Spaces: 4" (4 is tab width)
  • if "tabs as spaces" off: cell name is "Tabs: 4" (so cell is renamed)
  • dropdown from this cell shows items:

The lowest 2 items are the same in CudaText and in SublimeText, so users like that.

  • Convert ... to spaces
  • Convert ... to tabs

Look at last version. I have fixed some Tabs logic, but without Status Bar using.

I will, but I need the compiled version (I am not a C++ man)

It’s improved but yet not like in the proposal. I wish you make it like in proposal, thanks.
