Hi. I'm a newbie having a tough time getting tabs to work the way I
want in Emacs. (From the searches I've done, I'm not alone in this
regard. :))
My problem is this: In text mode, I want the Tab key to move to the
next default-tab-width stop, no matter what the context. I've been
able to do it with these options:
(define-key text-mode-map [tab] 'tab-to-tab-stop)
(setq tab-stop-list '(3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42 45 48
51 54 57 60 63 66 69 72 75 78))
But I can *not* seem to find a way to make it happen using my
default-tab-width, which I've specified this way:
(setq default-tab-width 3)
Is there any way to make this happen without typing in the long dreary
list of tab stops? Thanks very much.
