Different tab sizes depending on the language/file I'm programming in VS Code

Question

I want to work with programming languages ​​with a tab size of 4 but when I want to open a .txt file I want the tab size to be 8, it is possible to specify for different file types or for different languages ​​different tab sizes in VS Code? I only know the option in Preferences that changes in any file to the value that is there.

Answer 1

I believe language specific settings are what you're looking for. Try adding

"[plaintext]": {
     "editor.tabSize": 8
}

to your settings.json file.
