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.
