How can I make difftool meld aware of tabs to spaces on editing
I'm on ubuntu 18.04 and apt-get installed meld tool. Current version is 3.18.0. I've got files to be compared with mixed tabs and spaces. I want them 1) to show up and 2) I want to insert 4 spaces instead of tabs when editing with meld. I find no configuration possibility or something like that. How to do that?
