Allow tabs to be seperators

Open JohannesRabauer opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Currently there is only one character allowed to seperate columns. Unfortunatly you can't use \t to use a tabulator as a seperator

\t are for C++, Java strings. Exactly for this case, why not having as x09 one character https://theasciicode.com.ar/ascii-control-characters/horizontal-tab-ascii-code-9.html ?

Because it seems like it's not the same. x09 draws this character ○ instead of a tab. Copying a tab from somewhere else and pasting it into the Option-Field does work, but feels a lot like a workaround instead of a solid solution. grafik

well, so it is usable, the issue now is about
displaying whitespace character within Eclipse/SWT TextBox

Should be the same as within Eclipse Editor with such option ON.

Hopefully someone has desire/time to experiment.
