however, I am wondering if 8 is simply used more than 4 because that's what the Wireshark modeline generation tool happens to default to,
I believe the GNU standard is for an 8 space tabstop, but now I can't find a reference to back up that claim.
Hence the inquiry about adding setq tab-width, [and implicitly indent-tabs-mode too). As more and more modelines get added, I was just thinking that it might be nice to have as many common editors covered as reasonably possible instead of adding some now and having to go back again to add more later.
Can modelines be at the top of a file? The boiler plate copyright notice from doc/README.developer might be a good place to put it.
I really like the modelines too; I guess I'm also lazy.
Or prefer to work smarter than harder :) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
