Hi,

please, it's not acceptable that people use a tabwidth other than the standard 8
characters. Code written by kwrite users with a tab width of 4 tends to look
almost unreadable in things like vi or standard emacs. 

In order to get an indentation of 4 characters, do 

<four blanks>
<tab>
<tab><four blanks>
<tab><tab>
<tab>tab><four blanks>
<tab><tab><tab>
....


Can someone please add this to kwrite? It's bad enough if people set
parantheses in GNU style like

  if (something ) 
  {
     ...
  }

but if it looks like 

                if ( something )
  {
      .... bla

  }


in my emacs, that's a bit too much.


Matthias
