my editor vs code on mac is replacing tabs with spaces and I want it to stop

Time:02-18

my editor is replacing tabs with spaces and I want it to stop. To be clear, when I press tab the editor puts 2 spaces where the cursor is and I want it to put 1 tab because the current behavior is messing with the WordPress coding Standards. I have looked up about 1000 articles from google searches on how to fix this and nothing is working. Any ideas?

CodePudding user response:

You need to disable both of these settings:

Editor: Insert Spaces

// Insert spaces when pressing Tab. This setting is overridden based on the file contents when editor.detectIndentation is on.

and

Editor: Deteect Indentation

// Controls whether editor.tabSize# and #editor.insertSpaces will be automatically detected when a file is opened based on the file contents.
