Am I The Only One Who finds using spaces instead of Tab while Coding a bit Disturbing

Question

1 tab Saves 7 Spaces.

Answer 1

Yes the Tab key might able to save you some keystrokes but it can take different lengths depend on the environment you're working on.

So it's better to use space as convention otherwise you'll have trouble with mixing space and tab.

Answer 2

@vinit yes until you have to edit a program which uses only spaces, you'll get an error

then you'll jave to do as @calvin said :
convert

using that approach is safer

Answer 3

For code editing, use tab key is faster then enter space keys.
For source code, it's better to be stored in spaces for greater compatibility.

So programmers normally use tab key in writing codes, but set their code editor to convert tab to spaces.

Answer 4

No, I think you got it wrong. I meant using tabs is always better than using spaces.

Answer 5

Use your code editor to set 1 tab equivalent to 2-spaces.

Answer 6

install emmet.io in sublime or atom - tab will become your best friend!!!
