Wouldn't that be possible even when (exclusively) using tabs for indenting? Admittedly it's been a hot minute since I last programmed and I'm far more familiar with borland's ide with turbo c++ than VS code (so I don't know what the latest formatting works/features are), but if you only indent with tabs isn't that good enough? Also, do multiple spaces not take much more time to type out? Or have you remapped your tab key to multiple spaces?
