For several reasons I prefer to configure my editor to insert spaces when TAB is pressed.
But recently I discovered that tabs should remain as tabs in make files.
How do I insert tab (\t, not " ") without reconfiguring editors each time I need to write make files?
I use the following editors:
Emacs, Kate, gedit, and the Visual Studio editor.
Emacs’ Makefile mode takes care of where to insert tabs and spaces as long as you press the right keys at the right places. Either that, or I missed some details in the question.
