2. Characters between the beginning of the current line and the cursor are not all whitespace character.

Notes

This extension wouldn't make any different if you have disabled the "Insert Spaces when press Tab".

This extension wouldn't be much useful if your "editor.IndentSize" setting is "tabSize".

Since some files may have a mixture of tabs and spaces for indent, this extension will treat all leading whitespace character as indent.

When the Tab character appeared inside indent e.g. " \t\n", you may not able to delete that "\t" by backspace key in VSCode.

No setting is required.
