I didn't find an option to make that work, it's pretty much annoying when I have to delete the dynamic tab spaces, and change it to 2 spaces

I guess there should be an option, but I failed to reach it.

Any hint please, thanks a lot.

Do you mean this:

thanks for the reply

but I mean when I press the tab key on the keyboard, I was expecting the IDE can automatically convert this operation to two spaces key stroke:)

I have no idea what you are intending to do. Please give an example.

well. sorry for the confusion... this function called Tab Stops in Delphi,

In notepad or other simple txt editor, I press the TAB key on the keyboard, it will actually insert an ASCII code 09 in the file. That's fine

but in Delphi IDE code editor, I can choose to insert "20 20" ascii code when I press the TAB key on the keyboard

Usually I use the function to align my code with spaces

like this way

procedure TestFunction(test:Integer);
begin
<20><20> //do somethingcode
end;

this <20><20> can be generated by one press of TAB key not a really two strokes of some Keys on the keyboard

in DELPHI they call this " Tab Stops"

Then I understood it correct. Use the given editor option.
