SQL and XQuery Editor should "Insert spaces for tabs" as default

The COBOL and JCL Editor of IBM Developer for z/OS convert tabs to spaces by default when editing a Remote z/OS File.

The SQL and XQuery Editor within IBM Devolper for z/OS does NOT convert tabs to spaces by default when editing a Remote z/OS File.
By help of the general text editor preferences it is possible to insert spaces instead of tabs, BUT this preference have impact to ALL text editors.

Please use the same default for SQL Editor like in Cobol or JCL Editor.

Furthermore it would be nice to have an extra preference-option for the SQL Editor.
