How can I configure wrapping indent size in VS Code?

Question

In my case, the default 'wrapping indentation' size is always 4 spaces.

I want to change this size. How can I configure this?

I want to change wrapping indent size with actual values, like 1 or 2 bytes. Is it impossible? – EnDelt64 Jul 13 '18 at 06:17
Checking the source code: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/1ba11c0ef4902d29787b39110444b177ad4adafd/src/vs/editor/common/viewModel/characterHardWrappingLineMapper.ts – Feiyu Zhou Jul 13 '18 at 09:09

Click the gear on left bottom, then choose Settings and search "wrapping indent" in settings. Here you can set it to "indent".

not good enough. the wrap depth needs to have a different space width than the indent width i.e: + 0.5, otherwise it is confusing. – Hogdotmac Feb 14 '23 at 13:31

@Hogdotmac There are several options in the drop down menu. Selecting "deepindent" gives the wrapped line +2 indentation. Your overall tab settings (ex: 2 space tabs versus 4 space tabs) will affect the perceived amount of indentation. – josh1978 Jun 06 '23 at 22:23
