Please don't add the "tab-width: 4" specifier. Specifying a tab-width at all in a new file with "indent-tabs-mode: nil" is a contradiction. The latter says there should be no TABs, yet the former says "when there are, give them width 4." Coding style guidelines are universal in their recommendations to stick with 8-byte TAB stops, independent of whether you actually use TAB or spaces.
Agreed, good idea.
my .vimrc defines tabs to be aligned on 8 characters boundaries. i guess i never saw the problem myself, agreed, Daniel -- Red Hat Virtualization group http://redhat.com/virtualization/ Daniel Veillard | virtualization library http://libvirt.org/ veillard@redhat.com | libxml GNOME XML XSLT toolkit http://xmlsoft.org/ http://veillard.com/ | Rpmfind RPM search engine http://rpmfind.net/
