    Hi, all

    I wonder if the Kate editor can be configured (and how ...) to indent a line
    directly at the right place when the tab key is pressed (like emacs and vim
    does).

    for example, when pressing tab key while the cursor is on the lines of

                            if (a == b) 
              call_function();

    will change the code to

    if (a == b)
       call_function();

    I am using kde 3.4.0 on kubuntu.

    Thank you for your help
