Really?

It turns out that my suggestion of having "Editor uses tabs" turned on was bogus for Xcode 1.0.x. I was thinking about the current state of affairs when I gave the suggestion. There was a particularly bad set of issues back then w.r.t. the handling tabs in the indentation code. :(

The problem seems to be even worse in 1.1. Now I can't even insert two tabs at the beginning of a new line at the end of the file, no matter what settings I use.


All I want is very simple auto-indent, just copying the indentation on the previous line, as per Project Builder, or BBEdit, or MPW, or every text editor ever written since about 1988. I don't need tab to do anything other than insert a tab at that point. I can't find a way to switch off XCode's "cleverness".

I'm testing this by opening up XCode 1.1 with nothing but a "New Empty File" and the preferences window. I've switched off "Syntax-aware indenting", hit "Apply", but it still behaves bizarrely (and no auto-indent). Do I need to throw away my preferences file or something?
