Rarely will you outdent by manually deleting the : characters as there is almost always more than one line to outdent. I find I sometimes outdent manually if there are only a small number of lines and they don't need to be outdented far. Basically it's less effort than selecting the region and outdenting it. A good formatter should reduce the time you spend outdenting dramatically - but unless it is eliminated completely, there still seems to be a plus point for having tabs in the editor. :> I don't think there's any reason for having them in the repository. :> In fact I agree that that's a recipe for disaster. : Would that be because they were not portable? It would ;-) -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ tim@tt1.org
