</div>This seems like a problem that can be confined to the OTP team and<br>
process, which is I think is a pretty small subset of all erlang-mode<br>
users, no? And changing erlang-mode to default to spaces doesn't make<br>
this worse does it?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>erlang-mode allows the use of spaces for indentation just fine. If the emacs-lisp variable indent-tabs-mode is set to t, you get tabs, or if nil, you get spaces -- this is pretty much universal across all Emacs programming language modes.</div>
<div><br></div><div>My ~/.emacs defaults indent-tabs-mode to nil, but I have custom file-open hooks for Erlang and C that search for tabs at the beginnings of lines when I open a source file, and if found, set indent-tabs-mode to t for that buffer only so that any edits there match the existing style for that file.</div>
