Is it possible to have code formatter accept tab and many spaces as whitespace

There are option SpaceBeforeXXX which only accept true/false

But sometimes I was using tab to make space before operator, = and +='s family operator in particular

But formatter always convert it to space and code alignment I used was gone

So I wish that formatter about spacing that set to true will just see that tab, tabs, and spaces is also whitespace and ignore it if it is there, else will insert a space into it

These are all the options that OmniSharp can deal with at the moment https://github.com/OmniSharp/omnisharp-roslyn/blob/dev/src/OmniSharp.Abstractions/Options/FormattingOptions.cs

However, those are actually just forwarding to Roslyn https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/master/src/Workspaces/CSharp/Portable/Formatting/CSharpFormattingOptions.cs

What you are trying to do (with the smart alignment) is not possible at this time in OmniSharp - and as a feature request, it sounds to me like it actually belongs into Roslyn itself.
