If that's the case, you're just not using the right keys to move around the source code. :-) In Vim, keys like W/B, +/- etc. ignore whitespaces anyway, and Emacs has equivalents. Rumour has it there are other editors out in the wild, but then, some people believe anything... ;-) I am aware this is a sensitive subject, but looking at the last 35+ years, I personally found that the only reliable way to avoid whitespace related hassle is to stick to spaces only. I am not in a position to decide this, of course, but I am glad that Python [1] even comes with a command line option which turns mixed indentation into errors, making it easy to spot these situations. -Ralph [1] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#tabs-or-spaces
