Simple Tab Indent for Obsidian

Tab now inserts a zero-width space + real tab (\u200B\t).
Because the first character isn’t whitespace, Markdown no longer turns the line into an indented code block, yet you keep a true tab width in the editor.

✨ Features

🔹 Replaces Obsidian’s default Tab handler with ZWSP + Tab.
🔹 Works in Source Mode and Live Preview.
🔹 Configurable tab width – set any tab-size via the plugin’s settings panel (default 4).
🔹 Zero build-step, zero runtime dependencies – just manifest.json & main.js.

⚙️ Configuration

🩹 Troubleshooting

⚠️ Important: Task Recognition Limitation

Please be aware: When you use this plugin to indent task lines or list items, those indented items will not be recognized by:

• Obsidian's built-in task management features
• Any task management plugins (like Tasks, Dataview, etc.)
• Obsidian's search when looking for tasks

If you rely on task management features in Obsidian, consider whether this trade-off works for your workflow before enabling this plugin.
