Visual Studio replace tab with 4 spaces

Question

Is there a way to set TAB button to work as 4 spaces in Visual Studio 2010 instead of going to Edit- Advanced- Untabify Selected Lines

You can edit this behavior in   Tools- gt Options- gt Text Editor- gt All Languages- gt Tabs   Change Tab to use  Insert Spaces  instead of  Keep Tabs    Note you can also specify this per language if you wish to have different behavior in a specific language

For Visual Studio 2019 users  By the comment under accepted answer  link   Well    This is  quot almost quot  still the same in VS 2019    if you already done that and seems not to work  go to  Tools  gt  Options  and then Text Editor  gt  Advanced  gt  Uncheck  quot Use adaptive formatting quot  as seen here

None of these answer were working for me on my macbook pro  So what i had to do was go to   Preferences -  Source Code -  Code Formatting -  C  source code   From here I could change my style and spacing tabs etc  This is the only project i have where the lead developer has different formatting than i do  It was a pain in the butt that my IDE would format my code different than theirs

For VS2010 and above  VS2010 needs a plugin   If you have checked set the options of the tab size in Visual Studio but it still won t work  Then check if you have a  editorconfig file in your project  This will override the Visual Studio settings  Edit the tab-size in that file   This can happen if you install an Angular application in your project with the Angular-Cli   See MSDN blog

If you don t see the formatting option  you can do Tools- Import and Export settings to import the missing one
