Description zeta 2018-06-15 13:40:20 UTC 
Configure Katepart like this (From Kate's UI)

Configure Kate
..Editor Component
....Editing
......Indentation
........Indent Using
..........Spaces: SELECTED
........Indentation Actions
..........Always advance to the next tab position: SELECTED

Works fine for simple editing.

But on Block Selection Mode it inserts TABS instead of spaces.

Example: if you want to add many spaces between Col1 and Col2 in:

Col1 Col2
Col1 Col2
Col1 Col2

result is (not actually \t but a tab)
Col1 \tCol2
Col1 \tCol2
Col1 \tCol2

instead of spaces
Col1     Col2
Col1     Col2
Col1     Col2
