Try the soft tabs option, at the bottom of the window (right of the gear menu and the edit-mode).
Once you have that, try Text -> Convert -> Spaces to Tabs or Tabs to Spaces.

When typing the space key in my code in TextMate, how can I let TextMate use a particular number of spaces instead of that tab character? I would like to always use 2 spaces instead of the tab character.
Also, how can I auto-format code that already have tabs (or tabs replaced by, say, 4 spaces) to format it the way I want it (say, tabs replaced by 2 spaces)? Microsoft Visual Studio allowed me to do that. Does TextMate provide such facilities? (Guess I could always turn to regular expressions to fix such stuff.) _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
