Copilot suggestions in shell scripts always use spaces for indentation instead of the configured or existing indent style.

When suggestions are accepted in the CDT editor, the indent style usually matches the style already used in the file be it spaces or tabs. When using the "Generic Code Editor" or "Plain Text Editor" to edit shell scripts however, the indent style is ALWAYS spaces regardless of the existing style in the file or the setting in "General/Editors/Text Editors". This is quite annoying when the suggestion is more than a line or two.

Am I missing a setting somewhere that might control this?

@gtjoseph I wanted to share a quick update. Today we rolled out the Copilot4Eclipse 1.4.0 update. Unfortunately we were already at code freeze when I opened a bug for this topic. I'll keep you posted on upcoming improvements.
