Add FAQ 6.14 + minor updates to others
The new one is how to set tabstop (for viewing code) in vi(m). Add to the mastodon FAQ a note that there is an app but it does not have push notifications for posts by people you follow. Minor typo fixes elsewhere.

### FAQ 6.14: How do I set certain tabstops for viewing source code in vi(m)?

|

Sometimes an author will state that for best viewing purposes you should have
|
||||
your tabstop set at say 4 or 8. If you use vim or vi or vim in no compatible
|
||||
mode you can do this easily: make sure you're in command mode (in most cases you
|
||||
can hit ESC to do this) and then type the command:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
:set tabstop=4
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
where `4` is the value you wish to set the tabstop to.
