Allow changing of the tab size

In the "SQL Differences" pane, tabs are expanded to 8 characters.

(Can get very messy depending how other employees have formatted the contents of stored-procs)

Could there be a way to allow this to be customized [e.g. to 3 chars] ?

    The value set in SSMS options for "tab size" should be honoured.

    Was just about to write a comment for exactly the same.

    When I view the code in SQL Compare I want to see it formatted as I would in my SSMS.

    Either add some configuration option to allow me to select the tab-size or even better, read the setting from SSMS.

    I second this. This should be a 1 hour fix to implement, but can make our lives a lot easier

    Fully agree with OP. The default of 8 chars for a tab is way too much. And it's kind of weird that this is pending since 2016!
