TabToSpaceConverter
TabToSpaceConverter is a Sublime Text plugin that converts tab characters in a file to spaces and applies your new tab width setting to it; while preserving tab based inline alignments.
Batch converting is supported.
Overview
The Problem
Let's say you have a file that uses hard tabs for indendation and for inline alignment:
And the above file is created with tab_size = 8
setting, so the inline alignment
only works when the tab_size
is 8
.
And then you want to adapt the file to a different styleguide, which uses 4 spaces for indentation. When you open the file with the new settings, you will see:
To apply the new styleguide to the file, you would normally use the Sublime Text menu in the status bar (Convert Indentation to Spaces):
Which would give you the below result, breaking the inline alignment:
The Solution
Use this plugin and get the below result, as you would expect:
Installation
You can install the plugin via:
- Package Manager by searching
TabToSpaceConverter
git clone https://github.com/maliayas/SublimeText_TabToSpaceConverter.git TabToSpaceConverter
- Downloading the zip of the repo and extracting into
Packages/TabToSpaceConverter
The plugin is developed for Sublime Text 3 and above. It's not tested on Sublime Text 2; however it may still work there, so you can give it a try if you have to.
Usage
This plugin is meant to be used with a keybinding. It's not defined by default,
because it needs some configuration. You should click the Preferences > Key Bindings
menu and then add a keybinding like this:
{
"keys" : ["ctrl+alt+t"],
"command" : "tab_to_space_converter",
"args" : {"previous_tab_size": 8, "all_views": false}
}
previous_tab_size
: In order the plugin to preserve inline alignments, it has to know whattab_size
setting was used when the file was created.all_views
: If you set this totrue
, all the open views will be converted. To save all those files, you can use theFile > Save All
menu.
You don't have to provide your current tab_size
setting to the plugin, just set it
in the Sublime Text and the plugin will read it.
