New comment by Hoshpak on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/15770#issuecomment-546574801 Comment: I'm not sure since I never encountered this problem. Editors usually have the option to automatically replace tabs with a number of spaces, perhaps that is configured in your editors? For python development I would usually set it to replace a tab with 4 spaces however for void-packages we are using real tabs. I usually just use vim with a minimal .vimrc (syntax off and mouse=-a) and have never had issues with tabs.
