Have written the following function, but tabs and trailing spaces are not being highlighted. For some reason, hitting the tab key does not introduce a tab.
(defun indent-tabs ()
"TODO"
(setq custom-tab-width 2)
(setq whitespace-style '(face tabs tab-mark trailing))
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(custom-set-faces
'(whitespace-tab ((t (:background "#636363")))))
)
