default indentation in sublimetext

sublimetext, sublimetext2

Solution

When you have a JavaScript file open do the following:

Per-syntax Settings

Settings may be specified on a per-syntax basis. You can edit the settings for the current syntax using the Preferences/Settings - More/Syntax Specific - User menu.

This will allow you to set custom preferences for the current syntax. More info on indentation here: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/indentation.html

Problem

I use Sublime Text and want JavaScript files to use three spaces for indentaiton. I set this in `Packages/User/Preferences.sublime-settings`: ``` { "tab_size": 3, "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true } ``` but it has no affect and I need to manually change it for each new file.
