Change vim tab size

If you like vim you probably know this already, but if you don't, here's how you change vim's tab size from the default 8.

There are actually two configuration options - one is for tab sizes of entered tabs and one is for indenting via indenting functions (such as >>, C-t etc) and autoindent:

You can add this to your .vimrc:

:set tabstop=4
:set sw=4

If you're interested at all I keep a gist with my vim config options:
