- I have a question about EMACS tabs. I have a pre-existing document
- that I wish to edit (its a Perl program). The default tab setting in
- EMACS is 8 columns per tab. I would like 4 columns per tab. I used
- the edit-tab-stops function and changed the tabs to what I want. The
- strange thing is only tabs from that point on are effected. I would
- like for all tabs in the current buffer to be shifted over to column
- 4. 'Vi' does this using the ':set tabstop=4' command. All tabs are
- immediately shifted over to column 4. Is there a function that does
- this?
-
- HELP!
