Every IDE and editor (gui and tui) I’ve used has always come preconfigured with a tab-size of 4.
The only thing I’ve ever experienced having a tab-size of 8 was github, and I thought that was just a problem with a setting from github’s size that I quickly set back to 4.
It seems that tui editors come with tab-sizes of 8 only when a config isn’t provided, and every environment I’ve used where I’ve used a tui editor has always come with sensible configs (for things like config location, language recognition for syntax highlighting, etc…) including a tab-size of 4.
What environment are you using that have tabs set to 8?
Honestly, I can’t think of an environment that doesn’t have 8-space tabs by default.
Interesting…
