Hey all,
I'm new to the list but had a real quick question that's been driving me crazy.
Here's my initial salvo & response regarding this issue: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.editors.textmate.general/5091
Pretty much, I've tried that. Hunted down answers on the #TextMate channel and still haven't figured out how to get this working to my little tab-space hearts desire.
As of now, I cannot get the Tab key to produce spaces, regardless, in my Ruby files, even when the "Preferences > Editor uses spaces instead of tabs" box is checked.
I had previously followed the advice from the link above (adding softTabs, etc. entries in the Bundle Editor) but nothing I added made any difference. The advice was also not clear on where exactly to add the preference items in the existing Bundle preferences, or to create new ones, or what.
Any help would be much obliged.
On a more positive note, I love TextMate. Like others, I'm new to OS X and was turned on to TextMate / OS X by fellow Ruby on Rails developers.
Thanks!
Shanti

If you tried what was mentioned as the answer, and it didn't work, you need to _show_ us what you did, since it's likely you made a mistake! :)

In that case, it would sound like you did make a Ruby specific preference, but had the value reverted, i.e. set it to _always_ use tabs rather than spaces.

Best to create a new bundle, name it Custom, and make a new entry there with your stuff. Mainly so that it's clear what you did yourself, and what's the default.
