Indentation

Indentation with tabs

1)

indent_style = tab
tab_width = 4

Will set tabs with a length of 4.

2)

indent_style = tab
indent_size = 4

Will set tabs with a length of 4.

3)

tab_width = 4

Won't do anything because indent_style is not set to tab.

Note: Maybe we should be smart here and set the indent_style to tab?

Indentation with spaces

1)

indent_style = space
indent_size = 2

Will set spaces with a length of 2.

2)

indent_style = space
tab_width = 4

Will set spaces with a length of 4.

3)

indent_size = 8

Will set spaces with a length of 8 (because indent_style defaults to space).

4)

tab_width = 16

Won't do anything because no indent_style has been set.
