By default, Python files (like almost all other) use the indentation type configured in the preferences, which indeed defaults to tabs. However, Geany 0.21 added the possibility to set filetype-specific indent settings, so you can very well set the Python default indentation to 4 spaces (which, by the way, is the example in the Python filetype). Check the documentation, but basically create a filetypes.python in ~/.config/geany/filedefs/ and set the width and type key under the indentation section: > [indentation] > width=4 > # 0 is spaces, 1 is tabs, 2 is tab & spaces > type=0 It isn't the default to follow user's configuration, because changing overrides requires (for now?) to edit the filetypes files, and because Python actually works with tabs (unlike Makefiles as you noted). > Two notes: > 1.

Yes, that's a know issue, currently the indentation in the templates isn't converted to the user's indentation, and the default templates all use tabs. > 2. A similar issue might be Makefiles, which actually rely on being indented > with tabs. I haven't tested those though. Fortunately we already though about it and the Makefile filetype is configured to use tabs-only by default :) Regards, Colomban -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
