>Can you not adjust your tab stops?

I've used this in vim for years:

:se expandtab tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4

(those can be abbreviated, check docs)

Then:

I use only tabs for indentation.

All the tabs get expanded to four spaces each.

Indenting and unindenting lines or blocks of lines, moves them by four spaces.

Never had a problem.

Maybe there are more fancy ways, but this works fine for me.

Then Python will not work (?)

  • Sure it will work. Even before I discovered this method (which is simple), I was using four spaces typed manually, for indentation in Python, for years.

    Maybe it is you who "will not work".

    Did you try it before commenting? I already said it works fine.
