How can I permanently force TextMate to to always default to soft tabs (use spaces, not tabs)?
I want to know how to make TextMate default to this setting so that I don't have to constantly convert tabs to spaces while working on a file.
How do you permanently tell TextMate 2 to prefer soft tabs?
When you create a script in AppleScript Editor and then save it as an Application, there is an option to show a Startup Screen, as shown in the image below:
When that option is enabled, when you launch the script in the Finder, it will first show that initial dialog before continuing.
As long as the AppleScript script-application in question wasn't saved with the Run Only option (see the image above), you should be able to open the script in AppleScript Editor by dragging the script-application's icon onto AppleScript Editor's icon. (When a script is saved as Run Only, AppleScript Editor won't allow you to open it to see the source code). So, if you are able to open it OK, then you could Save a copy of it and make sure the Startup Screen option is disabled.
As for why this suddenly started happening when yesterday it didn't, I'm not sure. What version of OS X are you using?
MacroMates has an article on keybindings for TextMate on their site.

TextMate 2 uses a special file called
.tm_propertiesto control lots of settings in the app. It will use~/.tm_propertiesif present for global defaults. You can also add one inside a source tree to control settings for a particular project.The setting you're looking for is:
Just add that line to
~/.tm_properties(or create it if it doesn't exist).You can read more about this file here.
