Subject: Re: ruby-mode.el and tabbing

Sorry I activated the send keyboard shortcut in gmail by accident.... grrr.

I'm starting to learn RoR on emacs with the ecb and rails plugins.
I find myself wanting to type maps in the following way
foo = bar.mkfoo(
    :bangers => "mash",
    :fish => "chips"
)

but ruby-mode (i think) keeps doing this:

foo = bar.mkfoo(
                        :bangers => "mash",
                        :fish => "chips"
)

Which is sometimes way too far to the right.

Now ruby-mode seems to have this option:

ruby-deep-indent-paren

which has default value

(40 91 93 t).

I have no idea what this means. Does anybody know?

I found that (20 91 93 t) makes 1 char tabs, as does setting nil.

So I'm almost there I'd just like slightly bigger tabs, like 3 chars maybe.

Thanks,
