He wants to switch the tab width with a shortcut between 4 and 8. I don't know exactly but I guess because he uses different source code files and some are with a tab width of 4 and some with 8. In general, it should't be a problem as long as all indentation is done with tabs.
Exactly, i cot a lot of mixed files with tab with 8 and 4 using a short cut to switch makes my live easier! In my situation it is not possible to just change every file to have the same tab with with a script. So a fast short cut will be ideal.
Sounds like a good solution might be to add a button to the toolbar that aliases the Edit --> Prefs --> Files tab --> New Files: "Tab Width" control.
I don't think so. This would blow up the GUI with a button which is quite seldom used. So, I would prefer to add a shortcut to switch between tab widths which doesn't confuse or annoy people who don't want/need to use it.
Just a little update (to be honest I forgot that a little bit): I will delay the implementation for about two weeks. Reason is that we are going to release a new version and will announce a string freeze. I don't want to add this feature in a hurry and add a couple of new potential bugs shortly before we are releasing. Sorry Jelle, please be (again) patient.
