I didn't find an option for the tab width while using the tkcon's edit
function and a standard spacing of 8 characters is too much.

My quick and dirty solution:

I added to the copy of tkcon the following line in the procedure edit
for a tab length of 2:

-tabs "[expr {2 * [font measure $::tkcon::OPT(font) 0]}] left" -tabstyle
wordprocessor

The patch in diff format:

I put a ticket in the Sourceforge Tracker for Feature Requests, too

Thanks for making the feature request. I'll look at it and see if it
can be added to the set of options (probably something more flexible
would be necessary). Of course the default tab size is 8, which is
why tkcon is using that.
