Is there way to control the size of a tab?

See original GitHub issue

Hi Tomas,

Is there a way to control the size of the space emit in CodeArea when I press <kbd>tab</kbd>? By default, it looks like it is about two tabs in length. Is there any way to change it to spaces?

This fix is not sufficient when you’re displaying the content of a file in CodeArea. If the file contains tabs, those will still be presented as 8 white spaces when the file is presented. Only tabs that you’ve created yourself in the CodeArea will be presented as 4 white spaces.

Is there any solution to this that copes with that scenario as well?
