How can I prevent Qt Creator 2.4.1 from replacing tabs with spaces?


How can I prevent Qt Creator 2.4.1 from replacing tabs with spaces?

I have chosen ‘Tabs only’ on ‘Tab policy’ but Qt Creator still has this annoying behaviour


Solution

  • In settings, go to C++, and on the Code Style tab, press the Edit button. In the new window, you will have a General Tab which allows for C++-specific code indentation settings.

    Set Tab policy to Tabs only and Align continuation lines (if 2.4.1 already had that, not sure) to With Regular Indent and you should be good.

    Note: The same can be done for Qt Quick.
