Hi everyone<br>rms says here maybe can help me find out a way to fix my problem.<br><br>I have problem in emacs with TAB <br><br>I want have a real tab , when I press TAB, it goes like 8 spaces distances..<br>I did it with this code:<br>
-------<br><br>(global-set-key (kbd &quot;TAB&quot;) &#39;self-insert-command)<br>
(setq default-tab-width 8)<br>(setq tab-width 8)<br>(setq c-basic-indent 8)<br><br>(global-set-key [delete] &#39;delete-char)<br>(global-set-key [backspace] &#39;delete-backward-char)<br><br>-------<br><br>it
 works both on windows &amp; mac , the most important is I can delete a 
whole tab distances like 8 spaces when I press [BackSpace] key<br>
But it failed again in my Centos ,when I done complie emacs 23.2<br><br>Is there any way  to fix  this problem ? <br>Cause I 
really dont want delete a tab by press 8 times  backspace  on the 
keyboard.<br>
If it is possible , I want change all  modes of emacs to get a REAL TAB, no more space instead of TAB.<br>Thanks<br>
