Hello Marc,

Sorry about this inconvenience, tqe should probably use its own configuration 
file.
The parser used in tqe is very primitive and does not support variables nor the 
variable=value syntax
it ignores all code in `if (test) { …}` blocks, so you wrap the last line in a 
block like this:

if (1) {
    dired_show_dot_files = 0;
}

and use commands to set the tab-width and the indent-tabs-mode:

set_tab_width(4);
set_indent_tabs_mode(0);

I shall modify the default config file to avoid this confusion.

Thanks for your feedback

Best regards

Chqrlie.
