Convert 4 spaces to 2 in Sublime Text

Assuming you have the following settings in Sublime:

"tab_size": 2,
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,

If you get a file indented with 4 fucking spaces:

  1. Select all
  2. View > Indentation > tab width: 4
  3. View > Indentation > convert indentation to tabs
  4. View > Indentation > tab width: 2
  5. View > Indentation > convert indentation to spaces

If you get a file indented with 2 fucking tabs, just skip step 2.

Or if you get a file indented with 2 fucking spaces, just go through the steps backwards.

Thanks :)

Or, using the HTML/CSS/JS Prettify package, just press Cmd+Shift+H and poof! Fuck your fucking settings - the file is however I want it, now :)
