tab in python

[notwidow]

Hi, I have this issue in helix. When i define a function in python and press enter for the next line. then it does not indent ( add tab ) on the line.

Expected Behavior
when i define the funciton and press enter it should have added a tab by default.

Currernt Behavior
make a fucntion and press enter and it will take you to the begining of next line.

Steps to reproduce
create any python file
make a function and press enter

Edit
this does not work at all in python files, i did

for i in range(1,101):

and was then moved to begining of the next line.
do i need to configure it?

okay and i noticed that tab inserts 2 spaces... how to change it to 4?

It should insert 4 for python code: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/blob/master/languages.toml#L449-L450

there should be an option for tab-width .... some like it 2 some 4 some 3 and some 5

Add this to your ~/.config/helix/languages.toml:

[[language]]
name = "javascript"
indent = { tab-width = 4, unit = "    " }

indent = { tab-width = 4, unit = "    " }

i know that but i meant a global one that sets for all. anyway thank you..
that way i will have to write it for every language..
