Setting tab-width doesn't seem to do the right thing.TAB key in text-mode indents to the columns of previous line's words. If you want to go to next tab stop, as defined in tab-stop-list variable, use M-i. For example, first write a line like this: Here are some words. Then press TAB key a couple of times on the next line. Then go to the beginning of line and press M-i a couple of times. You should see the difference.
Maybe this is a little off-topic, but is their anyway to have that behaviour of the TAB key with source code, say C++ or Python? I would like to align various similar consecutive lines to make them easy to read. Thanks for any suggestions.
