Hi,
I created a new editor (extending TextEditor) and I want that when TAB is
pressed a set of spaces (for example 4) is inserted in the document instead
of TAB char.
How I can achieve this?
Thanks, Angelo

Create an IAutoEditStrategy which changes the tabs in the
DocumentCommand.text from '\t' to spaces.
Call TextViewer.prependAutoEditStrategy to install this strategy.
However, remember that simply replacing with 4 spaces every time is not the
correct solution.
You have to replace as many spaces as are needed to go to the next tab stop.
This could be
anything from 1 to the defined number of spaces per tab (4 in your case).
