I've tried setting this variable to 4 many times before, but it hasn't worked. Now it is the same as last time I got this working (I have had this problem before and eventually managed to solve it) - I have no idea of what it was I finally did (differently) that made the problem solve. -Kristofer Andreas Politz wrote: > > TriKri writes: > >> Bernardo Bacic wrote: >>> >>> er, don't know about the menus - i never use them and have them turned >>> off, but the following in your .emacs should work: >>> >>> (setq-default tab-width 4 >>> indent-tabs-mode t) >>> >> >> In which file should I add it?
