问题
I use spaces to indent but RStudio always converts spaces into tabs. This is even though I have the "Insert spaces for tab" global option selected. Drives me batty!
Here's my settings in case I'm overlooking something.
Thanks in advance!

This was driving me nuts too. Here's what I found (works in Rstudio Version 1.1.383 on Windows).
- Check "Insert spaces for tab" (You've done this)
- Set "Tab width" to 1
- Restart Rstudio
Do this in your Global options. If you are using a project, do it in your Project Options as well (as pointed out by mowshowitz).
To see what is going on, select Global Options > Code > Display > Show whitespace characters. If you have "Insert spaces for tab" checked, it appears to truly insert spaces, but it forces your cursor to treat one tab-width's worth of spaces as a single character in the editor. By setting Tab width to 1, you can get around this limitation.
