I totally agree, as a dyslexic big pieces of text look like a garbled mess. I need > 2 spaces to be able to navigate a file with code with any speed.

Tabs for indentation, spaces for alignment looks to me like the best of both worlds.

The problem I have (also a dyslexic) with tabs vs spaces is you cant (normaly) see tabs.

The old school 80 column fixed layouts like Fortran had did have its advantages.

There is probably no editor program in your computer right now that is not able to display tabs visually.

Yes I know but I am not working with with those fugly show white space settings turned on.

Like one of the previous commentators I am a dyslexic and I find displayed tabs CR etc very visually distracting

VSCode doesn't display the CR and with the boundary setting doesn't show whitespace when it's a single space between words.
