Quick survey...
How many of you uses tabs vs spaces to indent your code?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
Everything makes sense in someone's mind.
Ya can't fix stupid.

Probably none. I expect everyone just chooses one or the other.
Edit: Oh, wait, maybe I did... When I wrote DCL, I used a TAB for the first indent and then SPACEs after that. Does that count?

I use the TAB key to insert SPACES.

We all do. We all use one or the other, perhaps even both.
But to answer your question, I use spaces. I generally set up the IDE to sub 4 spaces for a tab.

Infidel! All right-minded people know that a tab stop is every 8 spaces! Anything else is heresy! Your immortal soul will be condemned to an eternity in an infinite loop unless you repent!

Splitter! The Real Distance is obviously 3 spaces per tab.

Nah I like a tight real estate, 2 spaces per tab works best.

There's always someone who just wants to watch the world burn, isn't there?
OK. You can have your half-a-space provided it's the top half.

No, TAB stops are by distance, not character count. A half inch is sufficient.

You've got a point there. Word and WordPad (and many others, I'm sure) default to a proportional font so the default tab is 1/2 inch.
Oddly, with a monospace fonts, I don't even consider the distance, per se, but instead a sufficient number of characters to make it read comfortably. Perhaps others do this?
In any case, I normally choose 4 characters for the tab length in those files but I may have been influenced by so many editors choosing that same number.

Inches? I still use cubits.

I never understood that, 8 spaces per tab, on a teletype of all things - sheer lunacy.
|

I think it had to do with what a mechanical typewriter was able to reliably insert. Remember, the tab key didn't shift x spaces, it shifted to the next tab stop, and yes, these were physical stops in a mechanical typewriter. Since these old machines worked on a fixed width font of 8 characters per inch and the physical tab stops were one inch apart, a tab became associated with 8 characters.
|
|
|
|
|
Typewriters were typically either 10 (Pica) or 12 (Elite) characters per inch. Some of the later typewriters could support either and had swappable type balls.

I will answer the question you intended to ask.
I use tabs. Set to 2 spaces as that is the indentation size I always use. I use the tabs because a lot of my coworkers use 4 spaces and they came just adjust the tab size to give the code the look they are used to.
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I would've never thought there could be a good argument for tabs, but this sounds like a good way to satisfy everyone. My only question would be what the code looks like outside the IDE, in GitHub or even Notepad, for example.
