Hello,

I am working a lot with source code written using Emacs on Linux. The
prevailing convention is that tabs are presented as 8 spaces, but
indents are only 4 spaces. Indenting will insert spaces, and Emacs
seems to swap groups of 8 spaces for a tab.
Is there any way to do this with TextMate at the moment?

Not mentioned so far is that you're probably best off setting tabsize to 8, converting all tabs to spaces, and then switching back to 4-space soft-tabs.

I have seen that type of tab encoding before as well, but any emacs hacker worth her salt [1] uses "(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)".
