Tabs vs. spaces == sadness
Closed this issue · 4 comments
If one person has their editor set to use tabs and others use spaces, we get corruption sometimes.
I think just warning people about this would be enough? Otherwise, we'd need to detect tabs client side and transform spaces.
I think just warning is fine. Not sure the best way to tell the user though. False positives could be really annoying.
I think just tell the user when they join the workspace? Clients tell the backend their tab settings when they join. We warn the tab user if not everyone has tabs? I suppose we'd need to watch the setting for updates, too...
Colab now detects mixed indentation and sends warnings about this. We might need to tweak the warnings to make them more prominent, but the technical issue is fixed.
