Open the $ HOME / .vimrc file in MacVim,

:edit $MYVIMRC

write the following lines

 set tabstop=2 set shiftwidth=2

and save.

As said above, Kazuki Sakamoto, you need to edit the $ HOME / .vimrc file. What you also need to do is make sure your $ HOME / .gvimrc file has the same settings. I am using janus setup with macvim and the only way to get it working is to add these lines to this file. Their presence in both files should ensure that if you use vim in a terminal or macvim, the tab settings will be the same.
