title: Can you make Visual Studio use tabs instead of spaces for new template files?
body: <p>I've modified my copy of Visual Studio to keep tabs (instead of spaces) in all my files via <code>Tools =&gt; Options =&gt; Text Editor =&gt; All Languages =&gt; Tabs</code>.  However, when I create a new project or file, any boilerplate code that Visual Studio includes is always padded with spaces, not tabs (and in cases like <code>web.config</code>, not the specified number of spaces either).  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to force these all to use tabs automatically when created?</p>
