Finally! We can now insert good old-fashioned tabs again without going insane. F8 is my new "AI go forth" key.

Now the proud owner of Uncle Bob's magnum opus.
Been taking some inspiration from these ideas for the rearchitecting of the Fileside codebase for version 2. Looking forward to reading it all in context.
