In general, any modern IDE is capable of doing the right thing. NotePad++ is also capable, but avoid anything like WordPad or NotePad, if they are still around... Lastly, most projects I encounter do use 4-space, but some projects (and notably Google projects internally) would use 2-space, so you almost never have to worry about mixing 4-space and 2-space in your code. It just happen that sometimes some people publish code under tab or 2 space and if you just copy-paste you can run into issues, just FYI for the beginners. Thanks.
