There is a bug in the IDLE configuration dialog in the 1.1 versions.<br>(Why not update to a newer version?)<br><br>You can change the value manually in your user config files:<br>1. Go to the .idlerc directory (~/.idlerc on unix/linux, Documents and Settings\<username>\.idlerc on WinXP)
<br>2. Open config-main.cfg with a text editor (create it if it doesn't exist)<br>3. Add the following two lines:<br>[Indent]<br>num-spaces = 2<br><br><br>I don't have version 1.1.1 handy, but hopefully this should help... let me know if it works out.

if I can save the default indent width to 2.</span></font></p>
