@tseiff said in [SOLVED] editor seems to be ignoring my preference settings for tabs instead of spaces:
If you are still banging your head like I was, and you are using FakeVim, check those settings. They seem to be yet another layer of override and you have to manually check "Expand Tabulators", even if you already specified this TWICE via global and project settings.
Then go ice your head.

This is quite an old post and without it I would have struggled to solve this problem. This functionality is quite silly and should be fixed, or at the very least, documented appropriately.
