Stupid question but...here we go

I recently switch from Atom to Vscode, in Atom I always have used tabs(4)( mixed with spaces of course), I notice that vscode use 2 tabs by default; nothing important. But I decide to see how the files I've wrote with Atom looks like in vscode because I read that tabs looks quite different in others environments, but that wasn't the case, its looks exactly as on atom, I tried opening files written on Vscode in atom and vice versa , as well in notepad, even in WordPad and it's still looked find... I think it's because they use space when you press tab, but searching in the internet seems that isn't the case; tabs are tabs in atom, or in any other code editor/ide. Is this true?

Notice:(I don't know how to use "in" and "on" correctly yet).

  • vscode uses the user preferences, you can set it to explicitly use spaces always, tab always, or based on the file. See here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29972396/how-can-i-customize-the-tab-to-space-conversion-factor – soulshined Jul 28 '20 at 01:39

open any file and look for the right down corner of the vscode. There you will see which character vscode is using for tab

tab or spaces

In this picture, the file is python, configured to use 4 spaces as tabs.
