Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, etc. The tab stops set by this escape sequence will be added to previously set tab stops, including the default tab stops. If this is not desired, the old tab stops should first be cleared.
Example: The following escape sequence will set horizontal tab stops at five column intervals.
Escape Sequence: | ESC | [ | 6 | ; | 1 | 1 | ; | 1 | 6 | u |
Hexadecimal: | 1B | 5B | 36 | 3B | 31 | 31 | 3B | 31 | 36 | 75 |
