Tabs and spaces in the G-code editor, encore

Re: [DWC 3.2](gcode editor issue)

Hi, I found the older topic referenced above mentioning that tabs should be replaced by spaces in the editor. However, while working intensively with conditional G-code/meta commands in the last couple of weeks (DWC 3.4.0 beta 5/6), I noticed this does not happen?

I have to manually check the code with Visual Studio Code (search for \t) to prevent RRF complaining that spaces and tabs are mixed.

Take the following code as a start:

while {false}
echo "Tab before line indent"
echo "Selected line level 1 indent"
echo "Selected line level 2 indent"

When I put the cursor in front of line 2 and press [Tab] → a tab character is inserted.
When I select line 3 with [Shift]+[Down] and press [Tab] → two spaces are inserted.
When I select line 4 with [Shift]+[Down] and press [Tab] twice → a tab character is inserted.

So it looks like this now:

I would like that the built-in DWC editor converts indents into either spaces or tabs, but that it prevents a mix of both.

P.S. I think two spaces are a good alternative to a space, but I know there's a camp that would prefer four spaces or tab characters only. So ultimately, a user setting for this would be nice.
