Vim tabs

Hello all.

How could I edit my vim config file so that tabs (when c programming) take just 4 spaces?

Off hand, I'm not sure, but give this URL a shot.

My wager is that you'll find what you're looking for somewhere in there.

I dug this out of my .gvimrc, bet it's the same for .vimrc

set softtabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
