Is it possible to set tab size to 4 spaces?

How to set the tab size? I've googled and googled, and searched in this evernote forum, didn't find.

When I copy my programming code from VSCode, one tab becomes 8 spaces width. And when there are 4 tabs, it becomes 32 spaces width!!

Hi.  No,  it is not possible to set tab size.  Are you using a code block when copying code into a note?  If you can save a file in VScode,  try attaching a VScode file to your note.

I just tested it with my Rust code,  it's perfectly copied in a code block in my note (4 spaces)

Ok, I found that from vscode, a tab becomes 4 spaces. But from notepad++, it becomes 8 spaces. The source is one tab, but the result is different. And I use notepad++ very often.

Your original post specified VScode.  And it's still not possible to alter the tab conversion - the 'transfer' between two different coding systems apparently generates some anomalies.  Save the notepad++ file as an attachment and open it in the app to see your code.

in the Notepad++ preferences Language -> Tab Settings -> Replace by space on

You can still uses tabs, but they are replaced by spaces underneath. This solves your copy/paste problem for any editor without the need to change the tab size every time you import from another source with different tab size.
