Hi,
Does anyone know why when I press the "tab" key more then once, the subsequently inserted spaces increase two fold? For example, if I press "tab" twice I will get 6 (2 + 4) rather than 4 (2 + 2) spaces.
I'm using Emacs 24 on Ubuntu 12.10 and I've added the following to my init.el
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq-default tab-width 2)
Thanks.
-Ari

Use this command to find out what a key is bound to: C-h c TAB TAB runs the command ?? Bob ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Thanks. Yes. If you look at the command's description (C-h k TAB), you'll see that it delegates to the indirect value of `indent-line-function'. What value does this variable have in the problematic buffer(s)? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
