Yes, you would have to edit each file each time. You wouldn't have to
save the changes, though.

I was going to say that the tab will indent entire paragraphs
(because it does), but it won't do that if you use Line Breaking. It
sounds to me like you do, because the only way I can figure out to
get Geany to break at 72 characters is to turn that on. As soon as I
do that, the tabs only work on a per-line basis rather than indenting
the entire paragraph. Not only that, but they then stop honoring the
72 character limit, and go over it. Ah, well. It was worth a try.
Good luck, and I hope you find something that works.
