About Convert Tabs to Spaces
Each tab becomes the number of spaces you choose, or each group of that many spaces becomes one tab. The default is four, which matches most style guides; Python's PEP 8 uses four spaces, and Go uses tabs.
Only leading whitespace is converted by default, because that is what indentation means. Spaces inside a line are usually deliberate - aligned comments, text in a string - and turning those into tabs would break them. Untick Indentation only if you really want the whole line converted.
