spaces instead of tabs by "shift right" action [message #272393]

i borrowed =) the tabconverter from the ant editor and it works well.
means: a single tab results in 2 spaces as desired. but if i use the
"shift-right" action, the editor inserts a tab at the beginning of the
line. i've shortened the tabs appearance to the size of 2 spaces by
overwriting
org.eclipse.jface.text.source.SourceViewerConfiguration#getT abWidth(
org.eclipse.jface.text.source.ISourceViewer)
but i really need to insert 2 spaces and not a tab that looks like two
spaces.
any ideas how two configure this? do i have to implement "shift right" by
myself?
regards
daniel

you have to set the "insert spaces for tab" preference for your editor.
