| how to set different values for indent width, tab width [message #156235] | Thu, 13 November 2003 04:46 |  |

 Like many people, I have tabs set to 4 spaces. However, with other
 programs, I've been able to set hard tabs at 8 spaces (for example, in
 jEdit I can set an indent width at 4 spaces and a tab width at 8
 spaces). The result of this is that every other indent is replaced by a
 hard tab, which is nice.
 
 So far, I've only discovered two different options concerning indenting
 in eclipse: (1) having indents at 4 spaces, without any hard tabs; or
 (2) having indents displayed as hard tabs when opened in other editors.
 
 I also can't seem to find a real difference in "Insert tabs for
 indentation, not spaces" under Preferences>Java>Code Formatter>Style and
 "Insert space for tabs" under Preferences>Java>Editor>Typing.
 
 Thanks for your assistance,
 Liam Morley
