How to control tab size for Aura Components?

[Jason Clark]

When editing an Aura Component (.cmp file) the tab size seem stuck at 4; I’d prefer 2. I have set the Tab Size and Indent Size to 2 for Apex Code (Settings → Editor → Code Style → Apex) which works fine. I have the same settings for HTML, XML, and every other language under “Code Style”, but nothing seems to work. I’ve also tried “Use tabs” on and off.

Jason, if I change the values for the HTML file type from 4 to 2, it does the right thing:

Does that not work for you?

[Jason Clark]

It did not (I tried repeatedly), but after seeing your confirmation that it should work, I restarted Intelli-J and tried again; this time it worked. Thanks, good to close.

FIxed with Restart of Intelli-J

Very strange that a restart was required for you. If you (or others) see that behavior again, let me know and I'll raise it with JetBrains.
