Visual Studio Code – VS Code change indentation setting for all files in codebase

VS Code provides an action panel to change the indentation settings

enter image description here

I change it from Spaces: 2 to Spaces: 4. However, when I click on a different file, it goes back to Spaces: 2, forcing me to manually go through every file in my codebase an click the setting.

I would expect there to be a way to apply this system-wide. Is there?

    Put the following in your settings.json file:

    "editor.tabSize": 4

    The setting’s description:

    The number of spaces a tab is equal to. This setting is overridden based on the file contents when #editor.detectIndentation# is on.

    You may also find it useful to add the following:

    "editor.detectIndentation": false

    The setting’s description:

    Controls whether #editor.tabSize# and #editor.insertSpaces# will be automatically detected when a file is opened based on the file contents.
