I want to get a different number of spaces when I press the tabulator in Kate depending on the computer language I'm using. For example in a html file I want the tab to produce two spaces but in C I want it to produce four. Is this possible? How can I do it?

Via menu:

  • Settings > Configure Kate > Open/Save > Modes/Filetypes

you can set it like in this examle:

Name: C, C++ and Java settings
Section: Sources
Variables: kate: space-indent on; indent-width 4; mixed-indent off; indent-mode cstyle;
