What environment are you using that has a hardcoded tab size?

  • Termux
  • SourceHut
  • “View page source” in the browser

Termux

I think running tabs -N (where N is you preferred tab size) in the terminal should work. This is what I use in my zshrc on desktop.

SourceHut

Yup, they seem to be pretty opinionated here. If you look at the source there is just an inlined style with a single rule pre { tab-size: 8 }. I guess that is what you get when you use opinionated tools. The user's browser isn't right, my preference is right!

“View page source” in the browser

On Firefox this uses my default tab size of 4. But I guess changing this default isn't user-friendly.
