Switch indentation from spaces to tabs
When I press tab it inserts two spaces. I would prefer for it to enter a tab character instead. Here are my settings:
- File > Settings
- Editor > Code Style
- Detect and use existing file idents for editing (unchecked)
- HTML
- Tabs and Indents
- Scheme: Ryan
- Use tab character (checked)
- Smart tabs (checked)
- Tab size: 4
- Indent: 4
- Continuation indent: 4
- Keep indents on empty lines (unchecked)
- File > Default Settings
- Editor > Code Style
- Detect and use existing file idents for editing (unchecked)
- HTML
- Tabs and Indents
- Scheme: Project
- Use tab character (checked)
- Smart tabs (checked)
- Tab size: 4
- Indent: 4
- Continuation indent: 4
- Keep indents on empty lines (unchecked)
There are no .editorconfig files in parent folders. I have also done Edit > Convert Indents > To Tabs but the two spaces persist.
Do you know what settings I need to change for the tab character to insert a tab character instead of two spaces?

does this issue occur in new .HTML files? If you have 'Use tab character' enabled, and you still have spaces inserted when you hit Tab in a newly created .html file, try disabling EditorConfig support in Settings >Editor > Code Style by unchecking 'Enable Editorconfig support' checkbox
Lena,
Disabling EditorConfig solved my issue - thank you!

P.S. It occurred in new and existing files.
