This is horrifying, this is straight up blaspheny

For real. OP needs to give up on this ridiculous notion of tabbed whitespace and learn to use real, monospaced indentation. How wide is a tab? OP couldn't tell you because tabs are inherently dishonest -- a lie concocted by big keyboard to poison the unwashed programmer masses.

Tabs are one tab character wide, it's perfect

You're one character wide

I meant for my personal projects. For the code that only I see, tabs are much better for navigation. But it's true that if there are several of us working on the project, the spaces are much better.
