Breaks global editor.tab-length #108

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

This package breaks the global setting for editor.tab-length. It overrides the setting to 4, but it is impossible to set it locally in the Atom settings-view to the global value, due to an assumption by settings-view that anything set to the global default should be discarded. This makes it impossible, should you have a preferred tab length beside 4, to set the tab length used in Rust files to your global setting (without modifying the rust.cson file in the package source). Any other value can be used, but not the global value.

There's some talk about this in #93 as well. To me, this sounds like a bug in Atom (settings pages ignore package-level defaults). A known workaround is to add these settings manually to your config.cson until it gets fixed in Atom.
