Geany frustration how to deal with tabs and spaces and CR
#1
Not having a code problem (yet)
If I use 'enter' to create a new line, it places a carriage return in there, code doesn't run. Trying not to use tabs at all, as mixing spaces and tabs I've learned is a problem. This is the most frustrating environment you could ever imagine. How is this managed, how is this done?

Do you all hit return to create a new line in Geany, then you carefully go to the beginning of the line and hit backspace to delete the carriage return at the beginning of the line, _after_ you have placed content on that line, and then use the space bar to restore the margins? This is what I find myself doing.
