[TxMt] Re: Change visual tab size of soft tabs?

[Kyle Kirbatski]

Hi,

Those are some good solutions, but unfortunately I mainly have issue with how small two spaces look compared to four. Seeing whitespace characters and the indent guide will certainly help. But using a different font does give me an interesting idea to find a font with two-space ligatures that appear as four spaces.

Thanks!

It’s fine for leading indentation but code alignment would get messed up. Ugh. Guess I’ll have to contend with 2 space tab size.
