It occurs to me occasionally that I happen to write SPACE TAB in a buffer
saved into a file. This is mostly when I edit files with different
tabbing conventions.
Is there are general clean minor-mode or other way to avoid writing
this combination in general?
Hi Ulrich,
If you want emacs to always insert spaces instead of tabs then you can put
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
in your .emacs.
This needs to be set for each buffer, so it should be put in a hook like
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook '(lambda ()
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)))
You'll need to replace 'c-mode-hook with the correct hook for the
editing mode you use. Most of them are named after the mode's main
function.
HTH,
Colin S. Miller
