Subject: Indenting with spaces rather than tabs
Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2021 02:26:04 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <trinity-774c418a-a5c6-4def-8d37-d756ed6189b3-1611883564602@3c-app-mailcom-bs02> (raw)


Want to indent with spaces rather than tabs and have found the command

(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)

But one can also use "M-x untabify".

What should I use for my init file?  Am not so sure about using "setq"
rather than "setq-default".
