Linux kernel has 1 tab, which many/most would map to 8 (including me). Mapping to 8 has (and not 2 and 4) becomes relevant if you have line size limits.

- C1sc0cat 7y agoThat struck me as odd surely 8 is the norm - a holdover from typewriters
- dTal 7y agoI'm not sure that indentation should count towards line size limits at all, or at least not more than 1 character per indent. If it doesn't fit on your screen, you can change your tab width until it does.
