AV - thanks, this worked! At first I thought it didn't but then I
remembered to actually turn on Smart Indent :) Thanks again!

For those suggesting Ctrl-Tab - on KDE this is bound to switching
between desktops, which I find very nice and I would hate to override
it. And in any case I think AV's solution is better :)

Before I saw AV's solution I used the workaround of having a macro that does:
    replace_all("^\\s+", "\\t", "regex")
And I would just run it on the file before saving. But now that I have
AV's solution I can stop doing that :)

Cheers,
