Under Edit->Preferences, editor tab, indentation frame, set Type to Spaces and this should do what you want.

We could add a filetype-based indent width, a project-based indent width, and maybe an auto-detect indent width preference. Patches welcome. In SVN there's a 'Document->Replace spaces by tabs' option.
