It only "tabifies" groups of 4 spaces starting from the left, so if you have 5 spaces at the beginning of the line, you'll get a tab and a space after running this.
I think it's the same in Visual Studio.

Actually, it "tabifies" based upon the setting in Options|Text Editor|All Languages/Plain Text/Transact-SQL/XML|Tabs for the Tab Size setting.
In my case, it's set to 2. Selecting tabify on your 5 spaces gives me 2 tabs and 1 space.

Ah, interesting. There had to be an option to configure it somewhere! I suppose I've just always been happy with the default...

I think the answer is not quite correct. The action only changes the LEADING spaces on a line to tabs.

"Changes the font to look like cat scratchings" is getting 1% of the answers as of the time I posted this comment. A small but bold cadre of users who are willing to sacrifice QOTD points for humor.

Yes, the answer could have been more specific. But the feature's basic purpose is to change spaces to tabs.

Tabify Selected Lines – Replaces the leading whitespace on a line that contains the selection with tabs. Doesn’t matter whether the leading whitespace is selected, as long as part of the line is selected.
