Is it possible to make emacs automatically replace every 8 consecutive
spaces with a tab? (this can actually be done in indentation time
instead of write time if I menage to get the indentations right).
I am looking to get the same functionality gotten in vim for:
set ts=8
set sw=4
For example, when a line is indented 12 spaces it would be replaced with
[tab]4*[space]

You want "M-x tabify-region RET" (mark the region before that).

_Anything_ is possible in Emacs. Almost. :-)

If you're happy about tabs being used in any mode, put the following in
your emacs:
(setq indent-tabs-mode t)
. If you just want it in C Mode, use the C Mode hook:
(defun mf-enable-indent-tabs ()
(setq indent-tabs-mode t))
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'mf-enable-indent-tabs)
. All the best!

(like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
