Why do terminals replace tabs with spaces? -


often, handy way copy file's contents (say, between ssh sessions) cat file, copy text out of terminal. if file uses tabs indentation, i'm inadvertently changing tabs 8 spaces. impractical, , not i'm trying do!

this happens in terminals i've tried (including xterm, konsole). why? there terminals don't this?

update: not gnome-terminal!
