So it seems like they have the security angle covered by default, or at least they intend to? I don't know if modelines are enabled by default in distros, though. If we were to set tabstop=8, I think we'd want to set softtabstop=2 (or 4, depending on the file), so the "tab" key would continue to shift 2 spaces. -Justin _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
