Hi everyone
rms says here maybe can help me find out a way to fix my problem.
I have problem in emacs with TAB
I want have a real tab , when I press TAB, it goes like 8 spaces distances..
I did it with this code:
-------
(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command)
(setq default-tab-width 8)
(setq tab-width 8)
(setq c-basic-indent 8)
(global-set-key [delete] 'delete-char)
(global-set-key [backspace] 'delete-backward-char)
-------
it works both on windows & mac , the most important is I can delete a whole
tab distances like 8 spaces when I press [BackSpace] key
But it failed again in my Centos ,when I done complie emacs 23.2
Is there any way to fix this problem ?
Cause I really dont want delete a tab by press 8 times backspace on the
keyboard.
If it is possible , I want change all modes of emacs to get a REAL TAB, no
more space instead of TAB.
Thanks

This does not look like an Emacs bug, and probably would have been
better suited to the help-gnu-emacs mailing list.
Comments:
1) The default tab-width is 8.
2) There is no `c-basic-indent' variable. Maybe you meant c-basic-offset?
3) delete runs `delete-char' by default.
4) C-h k BACKSPACE tells me that I can customize the behaviour
by setting `backward-delete-char-untabify-method'.
So in Emacs 23.2 I get the behaviour that you want simply with:
(global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command)
(setq backward-delete-char-untabify-method nil)
