Is there a way to provide an argument to changeTabsToSpaces: in the macro recorder for stop size? Macro recording doesn't seem to notice when I change the tab stop, it's a pain to change the stops to 8, convert, then change back to 4 each time. And the macro is marked read-only (sorry, I'm still a TM n00b). I'd like to change files only as needed, and not have to drop to the shell to do a sed on it.

Have you looked into the "Text -> Filter through command..." menu item? You can record a macro that uses that, or of course you can write a command. Anything you can do in the shell, you can wrap around a TM macro/command.
