- Depends on what you want. If you just want them to appear as 4 space
- tabs (and don't care how it's actually stored in the file), you can
- set your tabstop to 4 spaces via
-
- set ts=4
-
- If you want to make tabs map to 4 spaces in input mode, it's
-
- map! ^V^I ^V <cr>
-
- The ! means input mode, not command mode.
-
- This doesn't quite do what you might want in all cases, as it
- literally expands the tab to 4 spaces.
-
- Both examples are for your .exrc file.
