Per-project Tab Expansion?

Hi,

Perhaps I'm missing it, but is there a way to do per-project tab expansion?

I often work on different codebases with different coding standards (work code, php.net code, personal code, etc.), and we have different policies for tab expansion.

Is there a way to set this on a per-project basis?

Furthermore, is there anything useful in .kpf files? It would be nice if they could overlay (to use a mozilla word) settings. Would be pretty sweet if they had an event that would fire code on use (we could set tab expansion programmatically via the .kpf, perhaps).

This is something we've considered doing either per language or perhaps more usefully per-project. Note that currently Komodo tried to guess the tab settings of a file when you open it by default, this is set at

Preferences / Editor / Indentation / 'Allow file contents to override Tab settings'

So for example when I open a Drupal file, Komodo will detect 2-space indents and follow suit.

Sure. I like that

Sure. I like that feature.

The inconvenience is that I have Komodo set to insert tabs by default, but when I create new files in other projects, I want the default to be 4 spaces (sometimes).

I like that I can change it per-file, but per-project would be best for me. Per-language doesn't help me—almost all of my different needs are still PHP-centered.

I still think the event hook on project switch is a good idea (-:

Komode to the rescue!

I managed to solve this issue with a nice toolbox macro, Komode:
