indent by ">" doesn't follow customize-group about evil HOT 2 CLOSED

Original comment by Vegard Øye (Bitbucket: epsil, GitHub: epsil):

As of commit e845d49, the variable evil-shift-width is buffer-local. You can adapt it to ruby-mode's indent level with the following:

(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq evil-shift-width ruby-indent-level)))

This sets the shift width to 2 in Ruby buffers, while other buffers use the default value of 4. (To change the default value, use setq-default.)

The shift-width of evil is defined by the (customizable) variable evil-shift-width. The reason is that each major mode has its own variable determining the indentation level and I have no idea how to find out the correct value for the currently active major mode in a buffer.
