Steps to reproduce
- Open Sandbox Vault in version 1.8.x
- In settings, change:
- turn off “Indent using tabs”
- set “Indent visual width” to 2
- Create a list with an indented item
- Check the number of spaces in the markdown file
Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]
yes
Expected result
I’d expect to be able to indent lists using 2 spaces, as it is currently possible in Obsidian 1.7 (using the setting “Tab indent size”).
Actual result
The lists are indented with 4 spaces, independently of the “Indent visual width” setting.

Additional information
I understand that the new setting “Indent visual width” is meant to be visual only.
But it would be great to keep the ability to indent with 2 spaces, maybe by preserving the old “Tab indent size” setting in case “Indent using tabs” is turned off?
