Hi https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Developer_Guide/Coding_Style says that mozilla code files should have the following Emacs and Vim mode lines:
/* -*- Mode: C++; tab-width: 8; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 2 -*- */ /* vim: set ts=2 et sw=2 tw=80: */ AIUI, |tab-width| in Emacs and |ts| in Vim are equivalent -- they dictate how wide tabs that appear in files should appear. I can't see a good reason why they aren't the same value in the above lines. In theory neither of these values needs setting is necessary because our code files shouldn't have spaces, but in practice it's probably sensible to have a setting. I suggest that we change the emacs tab-width value to 2 in the style guide to match the vim value, though I'm happy to hear arguments for other values.
