Hi Allan, ciao Domenico,
thank you for your replies.
I completely missed the status-bar. I usually look for setting/preferences on the top side of the windows, and did not see the bar until after reading you message. :-)
The set-up (once found) is quite handy, but I am quite "integralist" on tab setting (you can set it to any value you what as long as it is 4) I would like to have also an explicit global setting, to avoid the guessing you are doing now.
Anyway I can live with the current solution; I have just started using TextMate (mostly for the project drawer) even if I am quite comfortable with plain old text editor (I'm still using SubEthaEdit with great pleasure). TextMate seems following a different philosophy, and I hope to get it right while using it.
Thanks again for your answers.

guess what -- you're right :) open a Terminal window and type defaults delete com.macromates.textmate OakTextViewScopedTabSize to reset them all.
Of course the way I expected people to adjust tab size was by using the pop-up in the status bar :)
By default TM has different settings for a few known scopes (Ruby: 2, Markdown: 4, Old-style Property List: 4, ...). If your preference is e.g. 6, you may need to set it for a few different types before it's 6 for all file types -- it tries to be smart, so if you open a file for which you haven't set an explicit size, and TM doesn't ship with a default size for that file type, then it uses the setting of the "closest" file type (e.g. source.ruby.rails is closest to source.ruby), and if nothing is closest, it uses the size you most recently set explicitly.
So the times you need to "correct" the tab size should be down to a minimum, while still offering per-file type tab settings.
