mousepad editor - pressing tab

Ubuntu with Cinnamon. I've been trying a number of different text editors. Don't want anything fancy, just a note taking editor. Today I installed Mousepad which is great for the most part. Something I've noticed: the tab setting in Mousepad preferences is 8 by default, which is what I want. When I press tab on the keyboard it goes 4 characters. Many editors are like this. Is there any way to have pressing tab be equal to number of characters set in preferences? Is this an OS or DE or app thing? Thank you.
