[Lazarus] how to convert a tab key press into two spaces in lazarus

[davy zhang]

well. sorry for the confusion... this function called Tab Stops in Delphi,

In notepad or other simple txt editor, I press the TAB key on the
keyboard, it will actually insert an ASCII code 09 in the file. That's
fine

but in Delphi IDE code editor, I can choose to insert "20 20" ascii
code when I press the TAB key on the keyboard

Usually I use the function to align my code with spaces

like this way

procedure TestFunction(test:Integer);
begin
<20><20> //do somethingcode
end;

this <20><20> can be generated by one press of TAB key not a really
two strokes of some Keys on the keyboard

in DELPHI they call this " Tab Stops"
