Question

I want to use 4 spaces per tab in my Python code (.py files) and 2 spaces per tab in my JavaScript (.js files), and it is cumbersome to keep going to the preferences menu every time I switch between files.

Was it helpful?

Solution

If you enable "Emacs local variables" in the Preferences>>Text Files section, you can add per file settings: 

# -*- tab-width: 2 -*-

Textwrangler has recently (August 2009) been updated to Version 3.0 which adds 'per-filetype' tab settings.
