Description Pasi Lallinaho editbugs 2011-12-28 20:03:11 CET
Tabsize in the Notes plugin is annoyingly big (8 chars). Notes windows are usually quite small as people usually want to save screen estate.

Tabs, however, are sometimes even obligatory to keep the notes content readable. I think a default of 4 char tab would be good, and if that could be changeable from xfconf, even better (I personally prefer 3 char tabs).
Comment 1 Mike Massonnet editbugs 2013-05-18 17:38:10 CEST
please define 8 chars.

is it the length or the height of the tabs?
Comment 2 Pasi Lallinaho editbugs 2013-05-18 18:47:38 CEST
Tabsize in the text, not the UI tabs.
Comment 3 Mike Massonnet editbugs 2013-05-18 19:48:25 CEST
it should have an option to ellipsize maybe? and/or smaller font size?
Comment 4 Pasi Lallinaho editbugs 2013-05-18 19:57:53 CEST
Sorry, let me re-rephrase: When you press the tab key on the keyboard, the plugin inserts a tab that's 8 characters wide. Does that make sense?
Comment 5 Mike Massonnet editbugs 2013-05-21 22:54:03 CEST
commited.

tab stops are 12 pixels large (pango units didn't want to work, so it's in pixel).

best!
