I would expect MagicPython to either expose a Soft Tabs option or defer to the editor's Soft Tabs setting. Based on my current settings, MagicPython should attempt to infer tab type, but default to hard tabs (from editor settings) if auto-detection fails. Instead I observe MagicPython using soft tabs with no way to configure the fallback behavior. As I understand it, there does not seem to be a way to use hard tabs without setting the tab type to Hard

Wow, I had not noticed. Thanks

Low-maintenance and "abandoned" are not the same, please don't speak for the maintainers.
@agraubert, regarding the original issue, MagicPython is just a syntax grammar for highlighting, I think Atom uses the grammar name in the settings title. This is an Atom issue.
If MagicPython is just syntax grammar, then why does it expose settings for indentation? I can assure you that MP settings for "how many spaces in a soft tab" (4 spaces) are overriding my core atom settings (2 spaces). I have those set intentionally -- it's been great to have separate indentation settings for python vs everything else. I can totally understand if you only intend to support the syntax highlighting feature set though

2 years means abandoned. don't fool yourself.

You are confused. The indentation settings are exposed by Atom for a particular language. For some reason it uses "MagicPython" instead of just "Python" in the settings panel. These are Python language settings which MagicPython has nothing to do with.
I see. I did not realize that atom populates these settings for all grammars. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
