Would it be easy to add tab stops to the fasmw ide interface? I want to reset the tab stops to a static 4 spaces per tab, and also have it go back 4 spaces when the backspace is pressed. This would be useful for indenting nested loops in assembly.
Thanks,
MadMatt

8 is hardcoded into ASMEDIT, so is 256-character line. Privalov said he is working on it.

However I was not planning to change the DOS-compatible tabbing behavior. But I might improve "Smart tabs" algorithm a bit, to scan not only the previous line to detect custom tab stops (for instance, all currently visible lines above the one with caret might be used).

I have "Smart tabulation" disabled, and FASMW puts caret at the first non-whitespace of the previous line. Imho, that's the best behaviour. I had a lot of frustration with "Smart tabulation".

I was very used to this feature in the DOS days and so I'm sticking to it.

Soooo, is the feature doable? Can I just change just a few lines of source code, or would it require a lot of changing? Could this be a feature in a future version of fasm for windows?

At line 997 in ASMEDIT.INC you've got this code:
Code:
    .standard_tab:
        mov     ecx,[.caret_position]
        and     ecx,not 111b
        sub     ecx,[.caret_position]
        add     ecx,8    

to get 4-space tabs, you can replace it with:
Code:
    .standard_tab:
        mov     ecx,[.caret_position]
        and     ecx,not 11b
        sub     ecx,[.caret_position]
        add     ecx,4

Ok, I'll give it a try when I have time.
Thanks,

Well, found the time to test it, and it works good.
thanks Privalov
