SET(PAD_OVERSTRUCK_TABS)
Determines what DECTPU does when a user, working in a buffer whose text
insertion mode is OVERSTRIKE, types one or more characters in the white
space created by a tab.
Syntax
SET (PAD_OVERSTRUCK_TABS, {ON | OFF}
Parameters
ON In a buffer where the text insertion mode is
OVERSTRIKE, ON causes DECTPU to preserve the
column positions of existing text when a user
enters text in the white space created by a tab.
OFF In a buffer where the text insertion mode is
OVERSTRIKE, causes DECTPU to convert from tabbed
space to blanks any white space to the left of the
inserted text, remove the tab, and replace it with
inserted text. As a result, text to the right of
the tab often moves left when the tab is removed.
