1) Is it possible to change the indentation size in DrRacket? 2) Can DrRacket be set up to use the tab key to indent?
I don't know whether you're new to Lisp-parentheses languages, but it is not-uncommon for someone brand new to want to indent code differently from how Emacs or DrRacket do it by default. Then it seems that the vast majority of these people quickly convert to doing it the default Emacs/DrRacket way.
In C-ish syntax languages, people use a 2-, 3-, or 4-space indent, or a tab indent (with tab stops at 8 or 4 or some other number), and they snuggle or don't snuggle curly braces, and they have indents before and/or after unsnuggled braces, etc. There's a lot of personal preference and varying "coding standards" in C-ish syntax. In Lisp-parens languages, there's *much* more agreement on whitespace, and instead the many differences of style and philosophy exhibit in how the semantics of the language is used.
