I've been unsuccessful in getting Emacs to switch from 8 space tabs to 4 space tabs when pressing the TAB in buffers with the major mode text-mode
. I've added the following to my .emacs
:
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq-default tab-width 4)
;;; And I have tried
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
(setq tab-width 4)
No matter how I change my .emacs
file (or my buffer's local variables) the TAB button always does the same thing.
- If there is no text above, indent 8 spaces
- If there is text on the previous line, indent to the beginning of the second word
As much as I love Emacs this is getting annoying. Is there a way to make Emacs to at least indent 4 space when there's not text in the previous line?
