I think it would be better if in-game tabs were switched over to how tabs normally work, but I'm not sure if this is something people would use
I think it would be useful for keeping thing alined but that's just my opinion

'normal' tabs work in all different ways and are controlled by tab size. This will not be supported in game b/c it does not line up with the design. This may change in the future, but likely this will be fixed by 'removing' tabs in some way.

I would suggest, when displaying to the CLI in-game, replacing any tab with 4 spaces. Then doing the same when rendering forum posts here. No tabulation stops, nothing fancy. Just actually replace with 4 spaces.
