Convert Spaces to Tabs
Space-to-tab conversion replaces indentation made of spaces with tab characters. This tool converts the spaces at the start of each line, four spaces per tab or the number you set, and keeps any leftover spaces after the tabs. Spaces after the first character that is not a space are not changed, so alignment inside lines stays.
