I'll try to explain the subject line. I wrote a small program that displayed some text in a Text widget. The contents looked something like this: 1 word 15 anotherWord 3 etc. I wanted the behavior of this widget to be such that when one of these "rows" was pressed, a callback would be activated (the callback would check which row was selected, say, "15 anotherWord", then do something with that selection). It seemed to me that this looked like a job for the List widget rather than the Text widget, so I made the change. The problem is that the space between the numbers and the words in the above rows are actually tabs and the List widget seems not to have an idea of how wide to make a tab, whereas the Text widget handles tabs nicely. Does the List widget have support for tabs? If not, would you please consider this my request for tab support in the List widget?
