Sorry for the late reply; I did not return to this thread anymore.
Here is the patch I apply:

This patch does not change the package specific character of the setting. What it does is change the behaviour of the tab key: if you have set 'indent using spaces' on, the tab key will also use spaces when pressed instead of a tab character. Unless for a selection.
Beware that I am quite new in investigating the U++ sources and I would not recommend applying this patch to the repository without a proper review. That said, it works fine for me.

Here is another one that sets 'indent using spaces' as default as well as a space count of 3 for indents. This is how I like it, please edit as you want it.
