In the instant case I was looking for tabs in a rc file that requires tabs and not spc... here is a sample: (Its an rsnapshot.conf file) There two tabs after each variable name... then the value: # All snapshots will be stored under this root directory. snapshot_root /bk/rsnap/home cmd_cp /bin/cp # uncomment this to use the rm program instead of the built-in perl routine cmd_rm /bin/rm Maybe its just a setting on my end and only tabs are invisible. Do you see the two tabs by default?
