Then I vote for all of them. If we take out those Emacs local vars settings, I would have to change my Emacs defaults every time I open it to edit Xastir code. Either that, or every time I edit Xastir code I would have to manually fix its incorrect (for project standards) indentation choices. I would still advocate leaving the variable settings in the file, to override personal defaults and enforce project defaults. > Our source guidelines specify 4-spaces per tab, no embedded tab characters. > As I edit various files I sometimes get a 4-char space tab, sometimes a > regular 8-char tab, and that is with Vim so I don't know why it is changing > from file to file 'cuz I don't see modelines in there for Vim.

Must be something about specifics of your vim settings, though. Can't help you there, I'm not a vim user. > On Tue, Apr 30, 2019 at 9:52 AM Hal Mueller <[email protected]> wrote: > > > That???s for Emacs.
