How do you setup tab settings for user defined file types in notepad++?

I'm trying to setup Notepad++ to be able to edit a particular source-code file (*.mrc / mIRC Scripting File). The only thing I can't figure out is how to set the tab settings to 3 spaces.

I've searched google, however, I can't seem to find how to do this. The extent of what I search brings me to the setup for a user-defined language which I've already pretty much done. Tabs are the last steps.

When I add my user-defined file type to notepad++, the extension doesn't register in the Settings > Preferences > Language Menus tab. >:/

Where does Notepad ++ store user defined Language?

Individual UDL files are stored in one of two userDefineLangs subfolders. Each XML file in that folder is used to define one or more UDL. <notepad++_directory>\userDefineLangs : this is the location for portable versions, or if you turned on “local configuration mode” (or disabled %AppData% ) during the installation.

How do I change tabs in Notepad ++?

To switch and activate next/previous tab, there are multiple options: Use Ctrl + MOUSEWHEEL on tabs. MOUSEWHEEL up will take to previous tab while down will take next tab. Use Ctrl + Page Up for next tab and Ctrl + Page Down for previous tab.

I ended up changing the "Default" tab spacing to what I use the most, and most of the other files I work with are already explicitly defined in the application.
