Aha. That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for your help.

:verbose set shiftwidth?
If you have left your 'shiftwidth' at its default of 8, indenting by n
shiftwidths will result (with your nonstandard setting of ts=6) into n +
floor(n/4) hard tabs plus (2n mod 8) spaces.
Note: If 'noexpandtab' is set, using any value other than 8 for
'tabstop' will make your files non-portable, i.e., other editors will
interpret your hard tabs differently than you do.
Best regards,
Tony.
