How to change tab size for Kotlin project?
I created a simple Kotlin project following your tutorial. I want to change tab size from 4 to 2. I went to Editor > Code Style > Java and set tab size 2 for Scheme: Project. I did the same for Other File Types, but when I edit my code the tab size is still 4. What else do I have to do?

Err, change the tab setting in the "Kotlin" panel?
Where is Kotlin panel? Google search finds only one match and it is your response.
Don't you have
Editor > Code Style >Kotlin ?

Yes, I do. I'm almost certain it wasn't there 2 days ago, but maybe it was just too late at night. Unfortunately, setting tab length in Editor > Code Style >Kotlin doesn't affect *.kt file. Tab settings in Editor > Code Style >Java work for *.java files, though.
Here is a screenshot showing tab=2 in preview and unchanged tab=4 in the editor:
That preview shows that you did not check the "Use tab character" checkbox.
Is indentation still wrong if you select that option and reformat your file?
OK, it works. "Reformat Code" was the missing piece. I'm used to other IDEs, which don't require reformat operation. Thank you for your help.
