This is just a quick post to share something that I found which is a really nice quality of life tip for VSCode.
In this post, I will show you how to configure per-language settings in VSCode so that, in Python files you can set to indent with 4 spaces and in Javascript you can set to indent with 2 spaces.
The following software was used in this post.
Open the command pallete with the CMD + SHIFT + p keyboard combination and type Preferences: Open Settings (JSON) and hit ENTER .
For each language, add a stanza in the format "[language]": {} . For example:
"[rust]": {
"editor.tabSize": 4,
},
"[python]": {
"editor.tabSize": 4,
},
"[njk]": {
"editor.formatOnSave": false
},My entire config loooks like the below.
{
"editor.fontFamily": "'FiraCode NF','FiraCode Nerd Font Mono',Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",
"files.associations": {
"*.njk": "njk"
},
"emmet.includeLanguages": {
"njk": "html"
},
"remote.SSH.remotePlatform": {
"dev01": "linux"
},
"terminal.integrated.fontFamily": "'FiraCode NF','FiraCode Nerd Font Mono',Consolas, 'Courier New', monospace",
"editor.suggestSelection": "first",
"workbench.colorTheme": "Material Deep Ocean",
"workbench.startupEditor": "none",
"remote.SSH.remoteServerListenOnSocket": true,
"terminal.integrated.fontSize": 14,
"editor.fontSize": 14,
"editor.accessibilitySupport": "off",
"security.workspace.trust.untrustedFiles": "open",
"editor.wordWrapColumn": 100,
"editor.tabSize": 2,
"editor.formatOnSave": true,
"rust-analyzer.checkOnSave.command": "clippy",
"[rust]": {
"editor.tabSize": 4,
},
"[python]": {
"editor.tabSize": 4,
},
"[njk]": {
"editor.formatOnSave": false
},
}And that's it! Go forth and conquer my friends.
