            Bug ID: 363765
           Summary: Allow "Tab key inserts tab character" as tab key
                    action
           Product: kate
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: indentation
          Assignee: kwrite-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: fantasai.bugs@inkedblade.net

It's currently not possible to insert a tab character when indentation is using
spaces, except by pasting one copied from another document. This is pretty
confusing to a lot of users (as evidenced by the number of bugs reported by
people having trouble inserting tab characters). It would be nice if Kate could
have the option to merely insert a tab character whenever the tab key is
pressed instead of doing any of the various fancy options it currently has.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose indentation by spaces in Settings > Configure Kate... > Editing >
Indentation > Indent using...
2. Press tab key in document

Actual Results:  
Notice it inserts spaces. Great for people who want to indent with Tab instead
of Ctrl+I, but sad for people who want to insert tab characters!

Expected Results:  
Possible to configure Tab key to insert actual Tab character.

Reporting against version 15.12.3.
