I use M-x align-regexp
in emacs to prettify my Perl code, but by default it is using tabs instead of spaces, which is something one should not do according to Perl critic.
Is there a way to change the behaviour of align-regexp
so that it fills in with the right amount of spaces instead of tabs?

In general you should avoid using advice, but since align.el
directly reads the value of indent-tabs-mode
, it's probably the best way:
(defadvice align-regexp (around align-regexp-with-spaces activate)
(let ((indent-tabs-mode nil))
ad-do-it))
Here was my original version:
(defadvice align-regexp (around align-regexp-with-spaces activate)
(let ((old-indent-tabs-mode indent-tabs-mode))
(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
ad-do-it
(setq indent-tabs-mode old-indent-tabs-mode)))
As @Phils pointed out, this is unnecessarily complex and less fool proof, so use the code at the top of the post.
