When looking at the main function you can see that the editor's statusbar field is being set using the "config"-pointer and a corresponding function called editor_statusbar_set. If you want to follow that pattern you can add two setter functions for tabwidth and expandtab and set the fields that way (either using the Config in config or a "#define"d value). I wonder though if it wouldn't be cleaner to just pass a pointer to the Config struct to the editor_new function and dealing with the field value initializations there.
