No, tabs for indentation are the devil. Making this configurable would go against Black's philosophy.

I'm brining up again. I found one fork that uses tab's but its getting old. I'm not going to try to reason why tabs are better (and believe me I have good reasons). I'm trying to make working fork right now but hitting hard with tests, I've modified the tests to include tabs instead of spaces, but I'm still getting fail error messages.
In particular
Oh no! 💥 💔 💥
1 file would be reformatted.
with the data/simple_cases/composition.py file. any thoughts or help?
Sorry, not really. After #2798 we're done with discussing tabs and at least I personally have no interest in debugging forks that actively go against our decisions.
Alright, fair enough, I didn't expect any support on, this just hoping. If my fork gets "fixed" thoughts on linking to it in your README? For anyone else looking for black with tab indentation.
I really like black on so many levels. Just to clarify I'm not making black "configurable" I'm straight making a version that works with tab indentation instead
I feel you, and was almost convinced by tabs because of the accessibility argument. But that's also a "no" I'm afraid, at least if we're holding our line from previous comments. Using a fork essentially is the configuration, right? We've seen a bunch of forks and other wrappers suggested already, none of which we endorse or want to point users to. We do have a FAQ entry for the accessibility issue though.
We are not switching to tabs, and we are not publicizing any Black forks.

I know that, what's with repeating that?
not publicizing any Black forks.
Yes felix-hilden said something similar.
my last words on the matter in this issue will be. I'm far from making this fork "sustainable" but I imagine that this will be helpful to black in the long term as how I plan to make the fork in the end will encourage "tab" enthusiasts to help develop black. I think you should at least be comfortable with at least promoting a fork in a deprecating way such as "you can use the wrong one" or "you can do it the wrong way".
