tab(2m)

NAME

tab - Tabulation mode

SYNOPSIS

tab Mode

T - mode line letter.

DESCRIPTION

tab mode, when enabled, simulates all tab stops with spaces. This allows 'variable' tab sizes (see variable $tabsize(5)) and fixes indentation. If tab mode is not enabled literal tab characters are inserted, their displayed width may be controlled with the variable $tabwidth(5).
