[TxMt] [YAML] tabs -> spaces

[Xavier Cambar]

Hello everyone,
I have a probably silly question for you concerning tabulations:

Yaml can't stand tabulations, it says it requires spaces instead. How
can I get TextMate to insert spaces instead of tabs?


Regards,
Xavier

Two useful things to know:

Text --> Convert --> Tabs to Spaces

Click on the Tab Size button on the status bar (bottom of the window) and
select Soft Tabs.

Hope this helps. Best, Mark

Definitively a silly question...

Thanks to both of you for answering,

On a related note, most people I work with use tabs for indentation,
so I generally have Textmate set up to do so (with a tab size of
about two characters), but then when editing YAML files, I have to
manually adjust this. And remember to set it back afterwards.

Some way of YAML files automatically banning tabs and just using
spaces would be really nice.

And having the option of doing the same for Python source would rock,
too :-)

AFAIK, Textmate should remember your tab settings on a per-language basis...
