Tab Indent Size is not being properly respected

[WhiteNoise]

Tab indent size was removed a while ago. It’s now tab visual length.

We currently only support 1 tab/4 spaces.

(Re) Introduce a way to set how many spaces a tab keypress is converted to

Right now, when the tab key is pressed it is possible to configure Obsidian to enter either one tab char or 4 spaces. Some users likely prefer to have a way to specify the number of spaces a tab key-press is converted to. It is important to note that Obsidian does NOT support proper delimiter based indentation (that dictates a variable number of spaces for proper indentation). Right now, indenting with anything different than 1 tab or 4 spaces will be broken.

Indentation Guides: Support indentation guides when using 2 and 3 spaces to indent (fixed number of spaces)

MOD-edit: this post has been edited for clarity. Indentation Guides currently only support a space indentation of 4 spaces in Source mode and Live Preview. For other sizes (2 and 3), they appear broken. Reading view does support other tab sizes. For a discussion on supporting variable number of spaces according to the size of the list delimiter used go here.
