I can't remember such a feature. Leading spaces and tabs are generally 
indentation. And pressing shift+tab removes it. If you re-add it, it 
only adds the indention type you've configured.

Besides, I find it weird to even want such a mixed indentation. Why not 
use tabs or spaces consistently?

Best regards.
