I tried setting these options to remove the steel like grip JBX has on tab's in code...
Tools : Preferences... Editor... Cleared most of the tick boxes including "Smart Indent", and "Smart Key"
Nothing changed!
I want to write code alla so:
function blah()
{
weee();
}
It's the way I've done it for ever! But JBX isn't letting me tab where it think's I shouldnt be tabbing! (On the lines's with scope braces). Even Notepad has this functionality!
Anyone any ideas how to get the "smart" 'tab' disabled, like... totally?

By default, the TAB key is bound to the "format-code" function, which is probably not what you want. If the code is formatted properly (in JBuilder's opinion), and you press the TAB key, the "format-code" function will leave the code just the way it was.
What you probably want is the "indent" function, which is bound to the F2 key by default. I (and many other people) switch those two bindings whenever we install a copy of JBuilder.
You can change the key bindings under Tools | Preferences | Keymapping.
