indent tabs are replaced by spaces
Hi,
I've just purchased a licence of phpStorm and i'm facing a dilemma that i can't figure out!
Despite enabling the Tabs in "Code Style" => "PHP" or "HTML" as explained here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/207209645-How-can-I-use-real-tabs-not-spaces-, it still uses spaces :( how can i fix this?
Also, is there a way to activate the tabs for all languages instead of enabling it individually for each language?
thanks in advance

Hi there,
Please provide code sample/screenshot (to see the context). It's possible that you have .editorconfig in your project and appropriate plugin installed and enabled -- in such case such setting will be taken from there if available. Show screenshot of your "Settings/Preferences | Editor | Code Style" page.

Nope.
I believe it was possible really long time ago .. but there was a lot of confusion... so it's per-language only now.
.editorconfig file and appropriate plugin should solve it.
Thanks Andriy for your time and your message.
Well, somehow when I wanted to send you a screenshot, I realised that it's now working just fine. Thanks you very much.
I take this opportunity to ask you what is the "Smart tabs", didn't really get it!

It has illustration that explains it.
If you need only tabs or spaces .. then better do not use it (as it will mix them).
OK, thank you very much. you have a lovely day and happy easter :)
