file comparing

When comparing files with TAB's, the TAB's are expanded to an awful lot of spaces. 8 I think I can count.
Can this be reduced to something sensible like 2?
My text ends to the far right - off the screen.

Yes, that works for the file comparing utility.
I can see it also works for the internal viewer. But I use the external viewer in order to be able to use F3 for all sorts of file viewing.
Pressing F3 for internal viewer and Alt+F3 for external viewing would never work - I'm too used to hitting F3.
Any suggestions?

Sorry, there are no separate settings for Viewer and File-Compare (normally files compared in text mode are also files viewed in internal viewer).
But you can split the file compare window vertical instead of the normal horizontal split (Button right next to the [undo] button).

I am not looking for seperate settings. Just having the external viewer use the same settings too.
The FC utility looks OK now.

That depends on the implementation of the external viewer.
I guess every good text viewer has a similar setting.

I'm using TC's own viewer:

Not some random viewer.

Configure the external viewer as:
Code: Select all
%COMMANDER_PATH%\TOTALCMD.EXE /S=L
This way you always use the latest release of TC's Lister
