Description mariusz_m 2016-10-28 09:53:03 UTC 
Hi,
I think it would be great to have additional menu:

> Edit (Source ?)
  |
  + White spaces
    |
    + All tabs -> Spaces
    |
    + Spaces -> Tabs (use NB settings to get how many spaces forms Tab)

Why? When working it team, even if it is decided to not use tabs in editor, some peoples ignore this rule. Even if in IDE the code looks good, it looks awful in web browser (Gerrit, coverage report). So far I used to use Notepad++ to convert document whitespaces.

BR,
Mariusz
