multi-line snippets don't respect editor.tabLength

[AsaAyers]

I work on some projects with a tabLength of 4 but when I install snippet packages like atom-jasmine it indents the snippets wrong.

In one of my own snippets I found a workaround by using \n\n to reset, but then it obviously leaves a blank line. It's also harder to read than if I used a multiline string.

  "invariant":
    prefix: "invariant"
    body: "if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {\n\tinvariant(${1}, '${2}');\n\n} else {\n\tinvariant(${1});\n}"

Result:

if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
    invariant(, '');

} else {
    invariant();
}

+1 for this. At work we use tabLength of 4 with soft tabs and it's really annoying that multi-line snippets don't respect the setting correctly. I'd actually go so far as to describe it as a bug.

+1. It would be nice to have this working properly especially since a lot of the power of atom comes from its shortcuts and neat customizations. It's too bad this isn't working as intended.

@AsaAyers hey, just wanted to let you know that atom-jasmine now uses the \t character and should properly indent.
