Tabspaces in Source Mode

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this has already been posted but I can't seem to find it.

I've managed to get the tabspaces option in the config file functional, but it seems to only work in editor mode and NOT in source mode. How can I get tabspaces to work in source mode? (By the way, I'm using FF).

Re: Tabspaces in Source Mode

When in Source mode, most functions do not work because it is just a plain-old-textarea. As a result, I am relatively sure that tabSpaces does not affect the textarea as it does with the designmode activated iframe (the normal editor).

However, I have a feeling it may be relatively easy to add a new function for the textarea (since you should be able to capture a keydown event, detect if it is a TAB key, have it insert 4 or so spaces, and return false to negate the TAB functionality). I am guessing that the reason this is not implemented is simply because the logic utilizes features such as insertHtml for inserting the spaces.

Anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong on anything.
