Sure you can (with any decent editor) but it doesn't make the real problem go |

away. |

Well it's not our problem that your homedirectories don't contain your editor |
13 |
startup files. Besides that, the ebuilds will look just fine without you |
14 |
setting anything. The tabstop=4 (or whatever) thing comes into play with real |
15 |
source code where you have plenty of indentation where you want to see all of |
16 |
the code without making your terminal bigger (if you can). With tabs you can |
17 |
do this as Bruce pointed out already with spaces you're doomed. |
