Can I use tabs instead of spaces in newer versions of Notepad++

I just downloaded the new version of Notepad++ and I am finding that it is making my Python code edits incompatible with old code due to using spaces instead of tabs. Can I set Notepad++ to use tabs not spaces?

Solution

    1. Open up Settings -> Preferences -> Language

    2. On the right-hand side there is a Tab Settings group

    3. Go to python, change it to "Use default Value" instead of "Replace by space"

    4. RESTART NOTEPAD++

    Changes do not take effect until the app is restarted
