Your editor should do that for you! :-) e.g. set softtabstop=4 in vim
will allow you to have 4-character indentation by pressing the tab key
and outdentation by pressing backspace, but the file will contain spaces
instead of tabs. I would be surprised if other editors did not have a
similar feature.
Personally I prefer 8-space indentation, though.
