Or make your editor never use tabs at all.

The ancient tab conventions were tabs every 8 columns.

But that's not what people wanted to use when writing programs, so 
other conventions came about.

One British computer system (late 60's or early 70's I believe 
introduced a character into their character set that meant four spaces.  
They found it quite useful -- notice it was always four spaces, no 
matter where in the line it occurred.  Possibly easy to type (I didn't 
hear about their keyboard layout) but a decided space saver -- back in 
the days when everything was smaller.

Of course this was in the days when every computer system had its own 
character set.

Diehards like me still stick to eight spaces (this still works most 
places) but I've found that the safest is not to use tabs at all.
