I’m writing a VS Code extension in TypeScript and need to insert indented text in a TextDocument using tabs or spaces as indicated by the TextEditorOptions. I can handle the resolution of tabs manually but I’m wondering if there is an idiomatic way using the VSCode API.
Indent position is taken from TextEditor.selection.end.character. If tabs are used, this will not be the actual insert location without adjusting for TextEditorOptions.tabSize.
<code>int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
int countdown = -1;
Text to be inserted here.
^^^^^^^^Need to indent with tabs.
static const char invalid[] = "Invalid countdown %s, try again...n";
if (argc > 1) {
char* end;
countdown = strtol(argv[1], &end, 10);
</code>
<code>int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
int countdown = -1;
Text to be inserted here.

static const char invalid[] = "Invalid countdown %s, try again...n";
if (argc > 1) {
char* end;
countdown = strtol(argv[1], &end, 10);

if (argc > 1) {
char* end;
countdown = strtol(argv[1], &end, 10);
Is there some feature in the API that will handle insertion of tabs/spaces automatically or do I need to do it manually?
