How to change the per-language configuration of setting “editor.insertSpaces” to “auto”

Question

I\'m using VS Code to edit projects in multiple languages (mostly Ruby, PHP and Javascript) and for each language we have different indentation models (spaces/tabs and width). L

Answer 1

To use perlanguage settings, you use the [language_id] in square brackets:

example:

{
  "[typescript]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "editor.formatOnPaste": true
  },
  "[markdown]": {
    "editor.formatOnSave": true,
    "editor.wrappingColumn": 0,
    "editor.renderWhitespace": "all",
    "editor.acceptSuggestionOnEnter": false
  }
}

Update: editor.tabSize and editor.insertSpaces are now supported in version 1.10
