The Little Guy Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Hi! I found the extension very useful, especially on this form when typing up code in a textarea. It allows you to tab within the textarea so you can format your code nicely without having to use spaces or a text editor. I thought maybe some of you would like it, I have had it for 10 minutes and I already do! If you would like to try it out, here is the link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/dgkbnngeehclnibbdblaimapibmmcdal# I hope you find it useful!

trq Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 You shouldn't use tabs to indent code in the first place. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243321-chrome-tabbing-extension/#findComment-1249612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Little Guy Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Why not? I hate using spaces. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243321-chrome-tabbing-extension/#findComment-1249647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
trq Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Because tabs are inconsistent between different IDE's. Take a look at any decent open source project that employs codding guidelines and they all say to use spaces. Most of these projects won't accept a commit that has spaces in it. You can generally configure most editors to replace a tab with a certain number of spaces in order to be able to use the tab key to insert spaces.

The Little Guy Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well, this plug in can convert tabs to spaces. so if you wanna use spaces it supports that too.

Philip Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Because tabs are inconsistent between different IDE's. And although I see the usefulness of this, I still prefer tab to tab between form elements. I know you can set it to a different key, but meh. Type it in another program + c/p it over.
