Hello, I am looking for viewing tabs in an editor in fedora 10. I know that this can be done with vim and vi (with :set list). (If I remember correctly, also with emacs).
However, I tried to achieve this task with other editors (like jedit/gedit/kate) and could not. Any ideas if it is possible with other editors than vi/vim/emacs ?
Rgs, Mark

I believe that is the default behaviour for gedit. If a file is already open in gedit and you open another file, it opens in a new tab. However I can't comment on any of the other editors you mention.
suvayu ali, Thnks, but this is **not ** what I meant. You are right in what you say about gedit. However, I mean when pressing the "tab" key. (and not tabs of windows.
Any idea if it is possible to see it ? With vi, these tabs are shows as "^I" (when running :set list")

I run Fedora 9 and use the SciTE gui text editor which optionally displays whitespace (including tab) and control characters.
yum install scite

If you install gedit-plugins, you'll get a plugin called "Draw Spaces", which will do what you want.

Also try 'geany' (even if it's intended for coding, it's a good generic text editor).

Kate actually does display tab characters... It shows a » symbol for them. Make sure "Highlight tabs" is checked under Editor Component / Editing / General in the preferences (but I think it's checked by default).
