Something recently changed on my Chrome Dev Tool, but I'm not sure what it was. Generally, after debugging in Chrome, I copy my updated code and paste it into Notepad++. Recently the indention changed from 4 spaces to 2. At first I thought, "I'll just change the indention length in Notepad++", but then it makes my HTML harder to read.
I messed with the tab indent options in the Dev Tool settings, but it didn't fix my issue. I tried both "Detect Indention" On & Off and different spacings for "Default Indention". Please help!

I'm trying to setup PhpStorm, so I can simply press: "Reformat Code" ( Option CMD L), before each save - and then it'll make everything look right.
But I have this case, where I don't know how to make PhpStorm make the code right.
This is the code:
As you can see, then indentation is with tabs, but the aligning of the characters are with spaces.
I want it to look like this:
It would be cool to get the solution. But it would be even cooler to be able to figure out, how I could have found the solution myself.
Further info / idea: There is a Php Codesniffer from Squizlabs implemented. So I can fix is automatically by running a sniff fix-command. It would be pretty cool, to be able to automatically setup PhpStorm's Code style settings, to correspond with Squizlabs styles, without having to gradually tune the settings one thing at the time. But I haven't found that functionality.
Solution attempt 1: Read through all Settings >> Editor >> Code style >> PHP
I couldn't find anything that resembled this.
Solution attempt 2: Disable .editorconfig
I've read quite a bit about .editorconfig and it doesn't have these nitty-gritty functions here (as aligning equal signs).
But to make sure, I tried disabling it. Didn't make a difference.
Solution attempt 3: Search setting for 'align' and 'formatting'
But I didn't find anything useful. :-/
Solution attempt 4: Update PhpStorm
I was on PhpStorm version 2022.2.1.
I tried updating to PhpStorm version 2022.2.4.
This is still in progress.
Please show what you have at Settings (Preferences on macOS) | Editor | Code Style | PHP, specifically Tabs and Indents tab.
Checking Use tab character option with unchecked Smart tabs should do just that.

(Pro tip: you can copy-paste your code sample in the preview area and start changing the options; the IDE will apply the changes live on the provided code sample instead of the default one.)
I recently switched from Brackets to VS Code and I can't find a specific keyboard shortcut that I used regularly on Brackets, and I can't custom create it because I don't know how to correctly describe the command to the program.
On Brackets I used to use the keyboard shortcut Shift+Ctrl+A and with a few lines selected it would let me format the complete selection. It opened a one-line command screen on the bottom and it would let me add up different tags for HTML for example. Let's say I had a few paragraphs that I needed to format into an ol, once selected I would simply type: ol>li* in the command screen and it would automatically format the whole selection.
English is not my first language so sorry if the explanation is kind of weird! I've been searching for a solution to this for some days and I'm getting nowhere.
Things I already tried/worth noting:
Installed the Brackets keymap extension (I went through all of the keybinds and couldn't replicate this)
Checked VSCode keybinds list.
I, unfortunately, uninstalled Brackets and can't take a screenshot of the thingy. I am regretting this so much already. I should have been more aware of the keyboard shortcuts and whatever extensions I had installed.
Maybe it has to do with an extension that I'm forgetting to install?
The Chrome "Inspect element" HTML editor is very easy to use with lots of cool features, I love the collapsible elements, highlighting, and live updates so I can see exactly what's happening. Usually when I'm writing I'll create an empty file and open it in Chrome so I can start there. Unfortunately I have to copy everything to the document whenever I want to save and if I accidentally click on a link I lose everything. Is there an extension or something I can use to save the file (Maybe even to google drive?) I've recently accidentally lost a bunch of work a couple times in a row so I need to change something. I've tried brackets, atom.io, shiftedit, and codepen but none of them have the convenience and features of Chrome's console.
Thanks
You can use the Workspaces feature to work with files from DevTools so changes will persist to your computer automatically. Works with all source file types.
Check out Snippets in Chrome DevTools. The code snippets are stored in the browser, and you can run them on any page/site. I find them very useful myself.
You see the DOM in the "Elements" panel. The page may have JS that changes the DOM Tree.
So what you see in the Elements panel is not the source HTML. Therefore you can't just change things in the elements panel and save the changes to your HTML file.
I've search around the internet and the Chrome Dev Editor options, but didn't find the shortcut to indent my code. I've tried a lot of shortcuts already, perhaps I missed one of them.
I think the extent is same as other Chromebook defaults.
Shift-Down - to select
tab to indent
shift-tab to outdent
Every other website I visit, the inspector works as expected:
But in many of the sites I'm editing within apache server (using xampp) somehow they doesn't show the "filename.css:lineNumber" data
Also, every change I try to do in the inspector in thse sites, doesn't do anything to the code shown in the source tab.
I've tried refreshing, hard refreshing with cache, closing and opening the tab, closing and opening chrome again. The same problem occurs.
In other sites the inspector works well, but not in many of the localhost sites.
Has someone experienced this before? Is there a way to fix this?
If you are using a client-side CSS generator library such as Lea Verou's excellent -prefix-free or client-side Less, you will not see source information as it has all been processed and reinjected as style elements.
Client-side Less has a property [dumpLineNumbers] to include source line info as a comment in the generated source. (I'm not sure if this will display in Chrome's inspector - but I think it might)
The only "fix" I know of for -prefix-free is to temporarily remove it, obtain the source info for reference, then put it back in.
I have had the exact same problem (not using a css generator), and it appears to be a known bug with the current version of Chrome, the solution is to use the more up to date Beta version known as Chrome Canary - Here's the link :)

Try to check what the format of your CSS file is. I had the same trouble with the UNIX and Macintosh formats. For example, try to open you CSS file in Notepad++ and in the bottom right corner of the window you'll see your current format. If you see UNIX or Macintosh there, click it with the right button of your mouse and change to DOS/Windows. Then save your file and refresh your page in Chrome. It definitely helped in my case.enter image description here
