I know how to insert tabs in emacs I thought. C-q <tab> And sure enough the cursor jumps like a tab was inserted. So insert 2 or three but OOPS If I decide to back one out with backspace I'm backing by spaces not by tabs. Seems like if I take care to insert a real tab then it ought to act like a real tab when I backspace over it too. Recently I found myself correcting an rsnapshot.conf file where things MUST be separated by tabs.. one way to test is to back over what is there and see if your cursor jumps a tabs worth. But apparently that cannot be done with emacs. I seem to recall being able to do that in the past. Can someone explain this to me.
