Please help with Linux Indent vs. Tab size settings [message #27947]

Hi Eclipse Community,

Eclipse is my favourite IDE on Windows and I am now using Linux at work
and decided to continue using Eclipse.

I am having a terribly hard time trying to set up tabs and indentation in
Eclipse...

Here's what I am *trying* to do:

Each indentation level is 4 spaces. I.e. two indentations equals a single
tab.
In VI this would be accomplished with: ":set tabstop=8 hardtabs=8
shiftwidth=4"

I am trying to get this working in Eclipse and I can't for the life of me
get it to work. I need to display tabs as 8 spaces, but I need some sort
of keyboard shortcut (eg Ctrl-T) to "indent" i.e. add 4 spaces.

Can someone PLEASE help! Thanks so much.
My email is: jutes@rogers.com

Thanks!
Mike Jutan

Mike,

You should direct this to the eclipse.platform or eclipse.newcomer
newsgroup.
