My only question is: why would you want enabled globally?

Thanks for the quick reply. I want to enable this globally as i dont use the tab key for nothingelse and i read in searches that different editors might interpret the tab differently and cause problems and so on.

Im all ears though on the best way to do this. All i want to do is use this when im pretending to code on wordpress.

Thanks

I assume you are speaking of posting code to WordPress. If so just use your native editor or vim, and use the css wrap code from there.

Otherwise you can fool with the emacs, but you will run into unnecessary problems depending on what your system will see. I/E boot screen functions, and other minibuff functions will override your setting. Global is overkill. Just get your editor configured for the WP wrap code.

I can't walk you through the WordPress setup, as I never use it, but I bet vim will work fine with it.
