Convert tabs to spaces in Notepad++
Posted By: Helephant
How do I convert tabs to spaces in Notepad++?
I found a webpage that suggests it’s possible, but I couldn’t find any information about how to do it.
I would like to be able to do that, because some web forms don’t respect code with tabs in them.
Solution
To convert existing tabs to spaces, press Edit->Blank Operations->TAB to Space
.
If in the future you want to enter spaces instead of tab when you press tab key:
- Go to
Settings->Preferences...->Language
(since version 7.1) orSettings->Preferences...->Tab Settings
(previous versions) - Check
Replace by space
- (Optional) You can set the number of spaces to use in place of a Tab by changing the
Tab size
field.
