Here on earth, tabs are typically represented by 8 * space width.
A good editor allows to set the mutiple to anything you desire.

A very bad editor will display a tab as a symbol, in raw form, or not at
all. Maybe you use one of these?

If what you mean is, you press the tab key and the editor
inserts X * spaces then yes this is the most evil form of blasphamy.

Tab is:
ASCII 0/9 is decimal 009, hex 09, octal 011, bits 00001001: called ^I, HT, TAB
Official name: Character Tabulation
Other names: Horizontal Tab, \t


Binding a 'macro' to the key like this is like pressing '1' and having
the editor output 'one'.

Authors of such works shall be drawn and quartered before reaching
death. So let it be written. So let it be done.
