Hello everyone!
I'd like to propose the change of smart-tab default value from true to false. Why? Well, not only because a lot of (first-time) users get confused by the behaviour (the cursor "jumping around randomly", more than one person asked a question like this on matrix), but also because, being a tree-sitter dependent feature, the behaviour is inconsistent and the outcome is not always the same (for example in simple *.text files).
Let me be clear, I am not against the smart-tab feature per-se, it is an usefull feature if you get used to it; what I am trying to say here is that it feels to me like something that should be opt-in, i.e. the user should be using this if and only if their are aware of its existence.
Let me know what do you think! And most importantly, thank you all for the amazing work you're doing with Helix!
