modelsim text editor tab settings

Is there a way to change the tab settings in the modelsim text editor? I'd like to set them to 3 so they match my settings in all my other editors so files look the same no matter where they're open...

I just came across this during a search.

For reference the actual answer is

Go to the tools menu and select edit preferences

Then select "Source windows"

Then "Document types"

Then the programming/HDL language you are using (it seems the setting is per-language)

Then spacing

Then set the settings to suit your taste/coding standards. If you want it to match what quartus does by default for verilog (I can't comment on VHDL since I don't use it) then you want to set the tab stop to 3 and turn off convert tabs to spaces. I also set the auto indent to 3.
