Ubuntu – Can I change gEdit editor preferences according to the identified programming language

gedit

I am currently using gedit for two programming projects. One is done with Python, the other one with Java. In the Java project I have to use tabs and in the Python-one I have to use spaces.

Can I configure gedit in a way that I don't have to manually change the tab/space settings?

Not that I could see, I think you have to move up the IDE - editor to get to where you are wanting to go.

Geany might do this...
