How to force using tabs

Pascal4275

Hello!

In the past, (maybe until I upgraded to v 11), there was a way of using tabs for the editor.

Where is this setting gone? I have tried to uncheck "use spaces instead of tabs" but it doesn't work.

NB: I'm running 11.0.0.00012 on Ubuntu.

Thanks for any hint!

    Pascal,

    There is an additional place that you will want to set it.  In the preferences dialog make sure to click show advanced settings at the bottom.  Then go to C/C++->Code Style->Formatter.  Then click the edit button beside the CCS profile selection.  There then should be a setting for tab policy.  Sorry I don't have CCS in front of me at the moment so I can't provide a screen shot.

    Regards,

    John

    Hello John!

    Thanks for your reply, it works fine now. And the formatter allowed me to fine tune my preferences.

    Now one more thing: I'm also using ST chips, and the ST environment allows me to automatically format on save.

    Is there such a setting in CCE?

    Thanks!

    Pascal

    I haven't tried using it, but in the advanced setting under C/C++ -> Editor -> Save Actions there is a "Format source code" option which can be enabled:
