Is it possible in next version to insert in options something like "keep tabs\replace tabs with spaces".

You mean optimal fill on saving... That's already supported... Wink

I meant another thing. For example, if I put one tab and then I wish to delete in, I should delete eight spaces instead of one tab.

Another example:

Code:

mov eax,10           ;no tab
        mov eax,10   ;tab
;       mov eax,10   ;tab with comment (line is not shifted by comment symbol)
;        mov eax,10  ;tab in FASMGUI with comment (actually 8 spaces with comment)

Line is shifted to the right. It is not a tab behaviour.

Internal structure of this editor doesn't allow such tabs to be implemented, as this is a "fixed-space" kind of editor (I don't know whether there is some official terms for such kind of editors, DN's one was of this kind, I'm not sure whether were there any more). To comment/uncomment lines without shifting you can use overwrite mode (combine with vertical blocks and you can do it on multiple lines).

As I understood, "fixed-space" editor is that, where I can put cursor into any position on the workspace. I know at least three tools of that type with true tabs: FAR, Turbo C++ v3.0 and ASMeditor from www.avtlab.ru

you mean insert button?

I like ASMeditor for tabs but I like FASMGUI more for multiple workspaces in one instance.

First of all it means that it uses fixed length spacing and doesn't support the true tabs (which have flowing length) - every time you put/delete some character or spacing, everything gets shifted by the same amount. Perhaps such editors are most useful for ASCII drawing, but I got very used to this features also in case of programming, that's why I made my own editor this way.

This is another feature adopted from DN - when you press Tab it goes to the same column where the first non-blank character is found in the line above starting from the column where you were (if no such character is found, the standard tabulation size is used).

For me personally, replacing tab chars with spaces is the worst thing that can be done ;)
I'm using Textpad as an IDE, it has syntax highlighting, code templates, supports regex, vertical selection, user-defined tools (fasm;) and more.
