VIM + Code Block: turn off 'tab to indent' (happens in middle of the line

[schooper]

Hey all,

Brand new here but have been searching around for the answer and haven’t found much.

When editing code in a code block (in any syntax), using tab to add white space in the middle of the line, indents the whole line as if I went into visual mode and hit ‘>’.

Any way to turn off this behavior?

I have VIM mode on, turned off ‘Use Tabs’ and set tab length to 2.

If this is a redundant question, super sorry in advance.

I think this is the same desired tab handling as https://forum.obsidian.md/t/create-tabs-or-spaces-at-the-position-of-your-cursor

No solution there yet either but I wanted to link the two and bump as I am having the same problem

Yep - that’s the problem. Thanks for the link
