I'm not sure how to implement this cleanly. I notice (maybe from a comment on SF.net) that notepad++ supports this:

Hi.
Here is an answer from Florian Balmer, author of notepad2: "http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/ScintillaDoc.html#SCI_SETINDENT"
2.0.17 (released July 24, 2007)
- Indent size can be specified separately from tab width
This is interesting because it also uses the Scintilla 1.74 editing component, like Geany.

In Geany it is VERY inconvenient to use 4-space indentations. If I change TAB width to 4 spaces then all tabs are DISPLAYED as 4 spaces. So, well-formatted documents, created assuming standard 8-space tabs, becomes twisted and hardly readable. So, I can't just set 4-spaces (or any other value besides 8) as tab width in Geany.
It will be very convenient if there will be 2 separate settings for DISPLAY and EDIT tab width. So, I can leave DISPLAY TAB WIDTH 8 spaces and set EDIT TAB WIDTH to 4 spaces.
