I am just started out to use "Notepad ++", after having used "WordPad" and "Office Word" for years, but I notice the tab settings are hidden somewhere in the menu settings of "Notepad ++". I would like to customize the tab distances by modifying their marker positions.

The tab markers I am referring to are similar to those within "MS WordPad" or - if - the markers are showing - with all "Microsoft Office Word" versions.

I would like to know how to reset distances between two given tab settings. I can appreciate that "Notepad ++" may not display the markers like the two Microsoft products mentioned above.

I look forward to some receiving some advice soonest.

Thanks

To view Tab markers (and other "hidden" characters),

  • Select View menu.
  • Select Show Symbol menu item.
  • Choose which characters to display.

Display white space and other characters

BTW, you may also convert Tab characters to a specified number of white spaces, which can be useful when formatting for compilers or for other text editors.
