[Bug 282234] Re: kate ignores settings for TAB

[Tuukka Verho]

This is because in Kate the tab key indents instead of inserting a tab
character. If your indentation width is smaller than tab width, Kate
inserts spaces. If indentation width is larger than tab width,
indentation is done with a combination of tabs and spaces.

You get the desired behaviour if you set the tab width to the same as
the indentation width.

I agree that this is very confusing. One should be able to set 'indent
with tabs' and indentation width would then be determined by tab width.
