Since changing the preference only affects new documents or files you've never opened before, it's not really recommend for what you're trying to do. > Is there a slider widget or something else that I can expose to make this > easier? The "Show Fonts" command on View -> Text Display provides tab control. You can use the "Text Options" command on the Edit menu. (Either of those can have keyboard equivalents assigned, see the "Menus & Shortcuts" preferences.) The Edit Options panel via the gear in the top left corner of the editing area provides a tab width control. You can use a .editorconfig file for the project in question to enforce a project-wide two spaces per tab width. Alternatives abound. :-) R. -- This is the BBEdit Talk public discussion group.
