Hi Kerby,
Easily scripted. This what I use to adjust tab widths. I assign it a keyboard
shortcut, and can quickly cycle through widths depending on what I’m writing or
viewing (I look at columns of data a lot). Not exactly what you asked for, but
I think you can get the idea for a simpler one. The script goes in the Scripts
folder within your Application Support folder for BBEdit, which by default is
in your user Library (~/Library).
tell application "BBEdit"
set tabW to tab width of text window 1
if tabW > 64 then
set tabW to 4
else
set tabW to tabW + 12
end if
set tab width of text window 1 to tabW
end tell
HTH
