Yes, showing the key sequence would be best (if it can be retrieved
dynamically when building the config window).
But what confused me was that the settings only talked about TAB doing
the indent.
It looked as if the whole settings only apply to the TAB key and if
unchecked, they are irrelevant.
What I missed was some information that these settings are for all
"Block indent functions".
I guess the issue is that "tab" can mean the key or the char. If you have better terminology... (see comments on space below)
The problem, if even worse, on other places as tab also is used in notebook-context

Is it realy necessary to have two options (spaces and tabs) here?
This is completely unexpected at this point.
I think nobody would want to add spaces *and* tabs (as it happened for
me unintentionally).
Wouldn't it be better to have only one number and an addional selector
for the unit (space or tab)?
Probably. But the only way to find out for sure, is to remove it and wait for complains (and then add it again)
I don't plan on doing that.

[x] The TAB-key indents text block too
--------------------------------------------
There would be only one number and this could be configured to be
spaces or tabs.
Also, the word "too" in the last line would clarify that these
settings are not for the TAB key only.
It is not guaranteed that there is another keycode. It needs more space to be more clear
BTW: without any indication (on this page) what other things do block indent), I find the "too" by far more irritating. (But that is just my opinion)

There is plenty of space available and with my suggestion from above
only one additional line would be needed.
- You must measure at the minimum size of the dialog. People using laptops may have small screens, so min the size will not be increased.
- Almost all translations are longer, than the English
- there are already issues, because some gtk themes have bigger controls
I agree it could be more clear.
But within the current page, I do not see any acceptable quick fix
I am not sure, if spreading the options on more pages is a better solution (in terms of having to look at even more pages to find what you want). But it would appear to be.
