SQL Notebook Tab Spacing

KFries

My SQL notebooks in databricks suffer from having at least several different counts of spaces between tab marks.  It makes it very difficult to maintain pretty code spacing.  What sets the tab spacing in SQL language notebooks, and how is it set/adjusted?  Also, I co-edit the notebooks using git/github and intelliJ (which could be a source of the problem), but I want the indenting to be correct for my tastes as rendered in the databricks notebook because that's where I run it with data.  I am constantly adjusting spacing using the ctrl-squarebracket shortcuts.

Iโ€™m experiencing the same issue with SQL cell indentation in Databricks notebooks. While editing, Iโ€™ve noticed that the indentation level can vary from one cell to another - sometimes itโ€™s two spaces, other times itโ€™s four. This inconsistency makes it challenging to maintain a uniform look across SQL cells.

It would be helpful if there were a dedicated parameter for SQL cell indentation, similar to the existing โ€œIndentation for Python cells in new notebooks (in spaces)โ€ option for Python cells.
