I'll do some testing in the morning, but the changes seem fine on the whole.

Funny. I thought that the settings were behaving funny with HTML files and then I realized that Emmet was controlling those settings.

Looks good. Merging.

I cannot seem to get the .json syntax correct to turn the auto indentation off. It's driving me nuts. Can you please write a better guide for those of us unaccustomed to editing .json files to control these features? The samples given in the Wiki are not straightforward to newbies. Thanks.

@berriganator There's an extension called "JSONLint" that will tell you if you have any syntax errors in a .json file. Works great!

There's also a "Brackets Preferences" extension that provides a UI for preferences, but it's very early in development, so I'm not sure how well it works.

Thanks! I don't know what changed since I copied and pasted the exact same text, but somehow it is now working. mysteries
