The 'Tab width' pref should be renamed to 'Indent width', as it works for spaces too.
Not only this, IMO it is necessary to distinguish between tab width and indentation width. Does Scintilla support this differentiation?
There's SCI_SETINDENT vs. SCI_SETTABWIDTH, but I haven't tried it: http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETINDENT
Is the support for "tab width" and "indentation width" a different Scintilla configuration? Or is it necessary to add this to the Geany core?
What should the difference be?
To obtain tabs (if enabled) it would be good if 8 (or x) spaces are replaced with a tab right after the indentation (Ctrl-I). What is the right way to do this? Can you point me to an file/function which should be patched?
I don't know what you mean, I'm not sure why we need to replace spaces/tabs.
