My settings have been set to use tabs and not spaces.
When I have my cursor at the start of a line and I press the tab key a few times to indent the line as required, the editor inserts several tab characters in front on the text as expected. But when I select more than one line and similarly press the tab key to indent multiple lines altogether, then the editor inserts spaces in front of these lines and NOT tabs.
Is there a way to fix this so that the tab key ALWAYS inserts tabs and not spaces regardless of how many lines I’m working with at once?
Thanks!
This is reproducible in current build. I'll take a look.

You want to check the "Optimal fill" option in View|Options|Editor|Behavior. That gives the behavior you're after.

Thanks Michael! OPTIMAL FILL is exactly what I was missing.
