Re: [Vala] Emacs vala-mode



Ah, good point. Then how do you suggest we make it so that the user
configures it on init.el?

Yes but with your patch it will *force* spaces. I myself like tabs for
indentation and spaces for aligment, but thats my preference.

Vala's website is made it so that Emacs indents with tabs. Attached
is a
fixed version of that vala-mode.el to make it indent with spaces.

It's really a personal, or per-project, preference.  People who want
spaces can use their ~/.emacs to (setq indent-tabs-mode nil) to do so.
I do (I prefer two spaces).

You could also use file variables to set this on a per-file basis, or
directory variables (see
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/DirectoryVariables) to set it for an
entire project.

I think it should be replaced on Vala's (live.gnome) website.

I don't think it should be unless you can cite your source for the
"official indentation method" statement, but it /is/ a wiki...
