How to change Tab width in vim?
Say I have a file, columns are separated with single space (or maybe tab). I want to change space to tab (or different Tab width) so that the columns are aligned and nicely padded.
I tried setting different tabstop width to find the best one as :set ts=4; or :set ts=8, or :set ts=10, but tab width did not change at all in vim. What did I miss? Thanks!
will display lines being processed with tab stops set every number columns. It will not convert spaces to tabs. It will not replace sequences of spaces and tabs to make words on various lines magically align as columns in a table.

I found a decent guide of VI basic tricks. This guide does expect you to have a decent understanding of VI. It does not go over very much beginner related.
