Re: [solved] TAB in conky

Hello nTia89!

The documentation says

tab    (width, (start))  Puts a tab of the specified width, starting from column 'start'. The unit is pixels for both arguments.

Source: http://conky.sourceforge.net/variables.html

Maybe you should also take a look at ${goto xxx}.

Cheers
Chris

yes, i've read the documentation and the really problem is that TAB doesn't work like a tab.... conky tab is only a set of spaces....

That's exactly what the documentation says, you specify the width of the tab, it is not some sort of autofill.
