Just want to emphasize: use a tool that actually works for you and for the
programming tool. In general, any modern IDE is capable of doing the right
thing. NotePad++ is also capable, but avoid anything like WordPad or
NotePad, if they are still around...
Lastly, most projects I encounter do use 4-space, but some projects (and
notably Google projects internally) would use 2-space, so you almost never
have to worry about mixing 4-space and 2-space in your code. It just happen
that sometimes some people publish code under tab or 2 space and if you
just copy-paste you can run into issues, just FYI for the beginners.

Thanks.
