It seems that the global “Per Language Indentation Settings” override any project indentation settings. File settings work but then I have thousands of files to creates settings for.

Thank You @hoppfrosch1!
I placed one .editorconfig in my Project specifying space indentation and root = true. And One .editorconfig in my home dir specifying tab indentation settings. The home .editorconfig appears to be used on any projects that do not have a .editorconfig and otherwise, the projects .editorconfig is used.
This is an excellent solution!
I’m glad, that I could help.
This is exactly the case what .editorconfig was designed for - and the best is, that nowadays a lot of editors are aware of .editorconfig!
