make the Tab key move the cursor to positions, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11, then
afterwards, 13, 15, 17, 19, etc. (a multiple of two (11 – 9 = 2) after the last
listed position.
The last option is a mixture of the first two, Fixed plus Smart Tabs
(Figure 3.22); it is the default and recommended setting. Fixed plus Smart
Tabs will cause the tab key to move the cursor to the position indicated by
the Fixed Tab Positions field, or if the position is already beyond the end
of that list, it reverts to Smart Tabs behavior. This setting, combined with
a carefully configured Fixed Tab Positions field, allows for a fixed level of
indenting on the left side of the source code (for executable code blocks),
with very flexible indenting to the right of executable code (for comments
that appear to the right of code). The default settings provide a quick,
single-key method of indenting up to five (5) levels of executable code and
easy alignment of multiple lines of comments to the right of that code.
