Description Marcel Partap 2009-05-25 12:29:23 UTC
Version:           3.2.87 (using 4.2.87 (KDE 4.2.87 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090519)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.30-rc3-dirty

With my customized settings not being available i was editing some kde code when i noticed my indentions were done with tabs instead of spaces. First idea i had to change the kate default settings of the options "Highlight trailing spaces" and "Insert spaces instead of tabulators" to enabled. But though i really think they both should be made for a quick fix (provoking casual developers to send in patches with trailing spaces and tab instead of space indented), it would be even better if additionally kate would try and detect how the preceding and following lines are indented (tab or space) and adapt to that fluidly. Yeah coding style, it's a controversial topic... What do you think?
