I need to remove offseting 4 " " which are automatically created after breaking line in ACE editor

I tried using editor.setTabSize(0) that worked as well, but then I can't ident code by using TAB, as it throws "undefined" instead into code. I searched on ACE webpage, but there is nothing as that, and when searched forums, it told something with setBehaviosrEnabled, but that didn't work either

Any idea how to get rid of those 4 spaces?

Issue:

Code:

var editor = ace.edit("edittext");
editor.setOptions({
    maxLines: Infinity
});
editor.getSession().setUseWrapMode(true);
editor.setBehavioursEnabled(false);
editor.renderer.setOption('showLineNumbers', false);
editor.setTheme("ace/theme/xcode");

This is controlled by indentedSoftWrap setting in ace, you cn turn it off by running

editor.setOption("indentedSoftWrap", false);

behaviours setting is completely unrelated and controls automatic insertion of closing brackets and tags.

So your code from the above would become

var editor = ace.edit("edittext");
editor.setOptions({
    maxLines: Infinity,  // this is going to be very slow on large documents
    useWrapMode: true,   // wrap text to view
    indentedSoftWrap: false, 
    behavioursEnabled: false, // disable autopairing of brackets and tags
    showLineNumbers: false, // hide the gutter
    theme: "ace/theme/xcode"
});
