How to change the TAB-width in Eclipse with ABAP Development Tools?

[Vlad_Ghitulescu]

Hello!

I've just installed Eclipse (Version Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2)) and ABAP Development Tools (2.83.0) on a Windows 7 64 Bit PC and have a lot of questions 🙂

The first one: How could I change the TAB-width from 4 to 2 spaces?

The second one is related to the first: Where can I specify that the TABs should be resolved as spaces (and not the tab-character)?

Thanks!

Regards,
Vlad

Hi Vlad,

Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors seems to work for me.

Best regards,

Thanks, Armin, that was it - how on earth didn't I find this?! 🙂

Your welcome. I also didn't find it immediately because I started looking in the ABAP section (formatter etc.).
