Description Jean-Marc N/A CLA 2013-04-23 05:36:12 EDT 
I named it after the Java one in "Preferences > Java > Editor > Typing > Indentation". There's also "Tab key adjusts the indentation of the current line" but I think it's less useful.

Let's consider the following use case.

Legends :
* | = Cursor
* ---- = Tab character

Write down :
function smart_typing_is_evil ()
{|

Expected result (Option disabled) :
function smart_typing_is_evil ()
{
|

Expected result (Option enabled) :
function smart_typing_is_evil ()
{
----|

Note that the bug 406302 is related to this one. However as reported in bug 244445 the option "Smart Insert Mode" is misplaced for the moment.
