I'm using tabulations in all my files and I want to keep using them. But I've been working with the default setting:

"tab_size": 4

Until now. I just changed the size to 2 in the User Preferences file. When I create a new file, it's correctly using the size of 2 spaces when I tab. But I can't find how to quickly modify all my already existing files.

I'd like to do a simple "Search & Replace" but I would have \t in both fields, which is sadly not working.

I tried changing the View -> Indentation -> Tab Width: 4 to Tab Width: 2, it seems to change the way I see the file (I see tabs with size of 2 spaces instead of 4) but it's just the view and it's not modifying the file.

Any idea?

I don't know much about sublime text 3 but I would suggest you convert tabs to spaces, then do a search an replace 4->2 and then reconvert spaces to tabs.

It would seem that option is also under View -> Indentation
