are you actually complaining tab() produces spaces?
you do not want it to produce a single character! some programmers do not want a single "\t" character produced from it!
this is because usually this is interpreted as eight spaces. in a single "character." this is a lot for people. who like to write deeply nested loops. or python programmers. i'm not sure if the python interpreter. accepts tab characters. for required indentation in function bodies and such. but must have at least one space. in front of each line. which is the function body.
btw there's no need for _dest _console if you already have $console:only. unless you create a graphics screen. that is hidden but being worked on. you then need _dest _console. before you use print. otherwise the printing is not show.
