Aurora's tab settings:



From the Aurora editor manual:

- Fixed Interval Tabs

  Fixed Interval tabs are tab stops which are placed at regular
  intervals across a line of text. The width of the interval is
  defined by the current value of the TabWidth configuration
  setting. For example, when TabWidth is 8, tab stops are located at
  every 8th column position (columns 1, 9, 17, 25, etc.).

  Fixed interval tabs are the default when the Variable Tabs and
  Smart Tabs settings are turned Off.

- Variable Tabs

  Variable tabs are preset tab stops placed at irregular intervals
  across a line of text. The position of each tab stop is explicitly
  defined by the VarTabs configuration setting. For example, when
  the value of VarTabs is '3 5 18 71', then tab stops are located at
  columns 3, 5, 18, and 71.

  Variable tabs are in effect when the Variable Tabs setting is On
  and the Smart Tabs setting is Off.

- Smart Tabs

  Smart tabs are tab stops located at the beginning of words on the
  first non-blank line before the current line. Smart tabs are
  useful for aligning data with columns on the previous line.

  Smart tabs are in effect when the Smart Tabs setting is On.

There also is an "Entab on Save" option and macros to entab or detab a file.
