Tabs in word processing and graphic design aren't fixed lengths, they're fixed positions. Using tabs in this way is a layout system, and there are much better proposals for doing that using elements and properties rather than tab characters. When you're using a tabbed layout system, you want to set positions and alignment, leader characters, etc. It's not about the size of the tab character. So I consider such use cases to be out-of-scope for this feature. ~fantasaiReceived on Thursday, 24 February 2011 17:39:06 UTC
