How to stop PyCharm's 'smart' tab behaviour

Question

The default tab (as in, white space) behaviour of PyCharm appears prevents you from inserting additional tabs where it doesn't think it is appropriate.

Could someone advise how to turn this behaviour off? It works most of the time, but sometimes you need to go back to the previous line and insert a new line.

Answer 1

There is no option to disable it. Instead, you should report the specific cases where it doesn't work as expected so that we can address them, please use the issue tracker.

Answer 2

Code style settings can be configured in File | Settings | Editor | Code Style | C/C++. Indents can be configured in the Tabs and Indents tab. Also you can disable Smart indent in File | Settings | Editor | General | Smart Keys. More info about reformatting source code -
