Honestly, I really don't understand why you *want* to do that. If your indentation is 4 characters, then that would be the natural tab width to use. If you're not going to tie your indent to your tabs, then why even use tabs in the first place? > The new rules may look flexible at first sight, but the net effect they have > is they push me to use non-default tab size (which is not good), What makes that not good? There is no law anywhere that says tabs are 8 characters. That's just an arbitrary amount that looked appropriate to the people designing the first teletypes.
