So after I complained a bit to my coworkers in Slack, they proved their
superior Google-fu. For posterity, the regex solution turns out to be based
on this StackOverflow answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26255717/70876
Find:
(\G|^) {4}
Replace:
\t
The \G switch is new to me and apparently "magical". I'm still not sure I
understand what it's doing but it completely fulfills my request. I've
saved it in BBEdit as a memorized Pattern and will be able to retain my
muscle memory but not have to re-apply my old regex repeatedly.
Thanks again everyone.
