Mudlet - Forum

Using Mudlet 2.0-rc1, there's a persistent bug with how it displays tab characters (like from the %t substitution on a MUSH). It treats them like one character, but they display ten wide. This makes tabbed lines wrap ten places later than untabbed lines.

A related request would be a configurable tab width, or at least a more reasonable width like 4 characters.

Mudlet cannot handle tab chars. The user is responsible to replace them with the number of spaces he wants. -> regex trigger

Some MKO scripts come with a trigger - you just do a regex match on \t, select it and replace with whatever you'd like. tabs shouldn't be used by MUDs however.

Here's a trigger to do this, by the way.

Sorry for bringing back old topic but unless I'm doing something wrong this only replaces tabs in output window and rest of triggers still operate on a line that contains tabs

Is there any way for a trigger to modify a line so next triggers will match against that changed line and not original one that came from MUD?

Except this completely breaks any layout that was relying on tabs... So there is no way to properly handle tabs? I mean... they arent a new concept or anything :/

They arent a new concept, but they are one without an actual standard defining what do they do.

Tab support has been added to Mudlet for some time now. Wait for the next release or use the dev branch.
