Not sure if defaultTabWidth is a good choice here though, because it's not, it's actually tab stops - think of the typewriter (I know, referring to an ancient technology like floppy disk for the 'save' icon does not age well)

I am open to suggestions.  I am used to "default tab stops", perhaps we could just explain it better?
