This sets the indentation size of various filetypes common in this project. The preferred tab width for tab-indented files is unknown, so TODO comments have been left there. This helps keep uniform behavior in any text editor that has EditorConfig enabled. Additionally, the tab width provided for color scheme files makes it easier to align hex values when editing a file manually.

What Tabby is and isn't
-
Tabby is an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY, macOS Terminal.app and iTerm
-
Tabby is not a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider Conemu or Alacritty
Terminal features
- A V220 terminal + various extensions
- Multiple nested split panes
- Tabs on any side of the window
- Optional dockable window with a global spawn hotkey ("Quake console")
- Progress detection
- Notification on process completion
- Bracketed paste, multiline paste warnings
- Font ligatures
- Custom shell profiles
- Optional RMB paste and copy-on select (PuTTY style)
SSH Client
- SSH2 client with a connection manager
- X11 and port forwarding
- Automatic jump host management
- Agent forwarding (incl. Pageant and Windows native OpenSSH Agent)
- Login scripts
Serial Terminal
- Saved connections
- Readline input support
- Optional hex byte-by-byte input and hexdump output
- Newline conversion
- Automatic reconnection
Portable
Tabby will run as a portable app on Windows, if you create a data folder in the same location where Tabby.exe lives.
