So the standard setting seems to be 1 tab equals 2 spaces for indentation. I always change that to 4 spaces, you can see that here . But that setting never seems to save. When I work with Visual Studio on the next day, its back to 2. May it be that the Prettier Extension is overwriting something?

Use PHPStorm, its very useful. Now check this website: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings

I found the problem: The setting "Editor: Detect Indentation" has to be turned off. Also you can go to Prettier's Settings and set the Indentation to 4 Spaces too, so when autoformatting, the indentation of 4 instead of 2 spaces is kept.
