using xemacs, just the terminal based one. And typing a raw tab involves a tedious control sequence... there probably is an easier way, but I don't edit these loc files very often.
Just hit 'Tab' in vi.
Somehow I don't think this will be enough to make someone switch from emacs to vi, ;-). Also at least in my case I have "set tabstop=4" and "set expandtab" in my "~/.vimrc", as I also use vim for coding and most people hate tabs in code. So every time I edit a Galaxy's .loc file I have to remember to first do ":set noexpandtab". As you can imagine I also have been bitten several time by a wrong formatting in my .loc files. I wish Galaxy would change to a different separator or at least make it configurable. Regards, Carlos
