How to make Netbeans use tabs for indention

I’m really starting to like it, but got stuck on how to make Netbeans use tabs for indention. Deselecting the option “Extend tabs to spaces” didn’t work for me, I still got those damn spaces (I hate indention by spaces).

I found the solution though, go to your “Options“-panel, choose the “Editor” page, select “Formatting” and set “Tab size” and “Number of spaces to indent” to the same size.

Update: More PHP’ers falling for Netbeans.

   Thanks so much for this tip! It has been bugging me ever since I’ve started using Netbeans, which is a great program overall.

   Have a good week :)
