How can I get Eclipse to insert tabs instead of spaces for Java content assist?
- by Simon Nickerson
Is there any way to persuade Eclipse to use tabs instead of spaces for indenting its built-in Java content assist proposals (such as when creating an empty method which overrides a method in the parent class)?
The only setting I could find that looked relevant is in Windows/Preferences/General/Editors/Text Editors/Insert spaces for tabs, and this setting is unchecked.
At the moment I have to remember to select them and re-format with <Ctrl>+<Shift>+<F>.
