I work with tabs expanded as spaces on Linux, and that provides an obvious problem if I want to modify something in the code on Windows -- Namely, I can't use the tab button, I'll have to space away manually.

It would be great if there was a little 'Expand tabs as spaces' option, in the Tabs option configuration. It would simply insert the number of spaces you've set, instead of a tab.

Just giving this a bit of a nudge. I've found myself preferring spaces over tabs when working in other languages, so I would definitely find this feature quite useful.

I'm a hardcore tabs guy, but I support this just for completeness.

I'm going to +1 this as well; being able to use spaces would also greatly improve the ability to share code e.g. on a webpage or in text-based chat where traditional tabs can royally muck up the formatting or get dropped entirely (Steam comes to mind)
