Doesn't take tab width into account

[emichael]

I use tabs in Java, and I have the tab-width set to 4 in my settings. Wrap to column doesn't respect this and wraps past the end of the right margin. Not sure if it's considering tabs as 1 character or two, though.

Thank you, @emichael! I hope to look into this when I have time for another round of fixes.

@emichael I'm still not sure what to do about tabs. Since tabs have a variable display width, couldn't you reflow a paragraph that works for your tab-width setting, only to have a coworker whose tab-width is different complain that the lines are over the margin for them? As a tab user, what would you most expect the plugin to do -- use your configured tab-width is?

[emichael]

Yes. Members of the same project should all be using an agreed upon tab-width, anyways. Besides, you're always going to have that problem (that people can use different tab-widths), and making the plugin respect the current configuration is strictly better than it assuming some set value.

Ok, I'm convinced, and thank you again for taking the time to report. This is next up on my list.

@emichael I made a Github release with my attempt to fix this issue: https://github.com/abrookins/WrapToColumn/releases/tag/1.2.0 in case you want to try it out before I release through Jetbrains.

Thanks! I don't have time to test it right now, unfortunately
