Incorrect indentation behavior

[wdscxsj]

With "Editor indent" set to "4 spaces", a Tab always adds 4 spaces rather than padding to the next Tab position, i.e. a multiple of 4 characters.

For example, if the caret is at 1:3, a Tab moves it to 1:7, but 1:5 is expected.

Fixed.

Thanks for the update! I've tried sqlite-gui.1.7.7-x64-inja.zip but 4 spaces are always added despite the caret position.

Maybe I missed something? Or do you expect another behaviour?

The indentation logic may be incomplete. Please see my screen recording below.

Do you mean that if the caret has a text leftward then on TAB the editor should add IndentSpaceCount - length(line) % IndentSpaceCount e.g. _abc| --> _abc____| (adds 4 spaces for TAB = 8 spaces)?

I didn't use space intendation and therefore I don't know what I should to do.

Yes, that's correct. A Tab key should always move the caret to a "Tab position", i.e. column 4n + 1 (or 8n+1, 2n+1, depending on the setting). All text editors I've used work this way. For example, you can try these in VSCode's settings.json:

"editor.insertSpaces": true,
"editor.tabSize": 4,

Fixed.
