In the default web editor, hitting tab produces 4 spaces. I want it to make a tab instead, which will work the same as the spaces but only take up 1/4 of the characters for the purposes of the 100k character limit, which I’ve hit, and all those wasted space characters make a big difference.
I tried playing with the key bindings in settings but I’m unfamiliar with Visual Studio and couldn’t get it working. Does anyone know a trick for this? Thanks.
For Visual studio you can go into the options/Text Editor/Your language/Tabs to customize it.
If you’re talking about VS code I don’t think you can (maybe with an extension).
I’m curious though, what’s taking you 100k characters on this site ?

I’m talking about the codingame IDE, left panel -> Settings -> Keybindings. It uses the same syntax as Visual Studio Code key bindings.

Fall Challenge 2020. I write a lot of comments & test/logging code and use quite descriptive variable names. Never been much of a golfer 
From what I see, indentation in VS Code can only be changed through the options menu.
You can’t change it with keybindings (the only related command is “tab”, no option).
OK, at least that saves me the time of chasing that blind ally. Unless someone finds a better workaround I’ll just convert to tabs & paste when I hit the wall. Thanks.
