npub16f05rrfmusmay55jj7p6hs33g6f2xamwz62dtqrpcp94cqvmpv7qc40x9x (npub16f0…0x9x) tab-width is a buffer-local variables, so it is only active when you set it in a buffer.

Try to put that in your init file:

(setq-default tab-width 4)

If this does not work, there are probably mode-specific overrides. Try it out and let us know if you still experience issues and in which modes.
