Currently the default indent is 2 when you install Next.js but I want it 4.
Of course I can set my vscode default to 4 but the files generated during Next installation will all be 2 and I'll have to fix them manually which is quite annoying.

I don't think it's possible to configure this

I thought the same 😂

However, you can be faster by using Prettier

Can prettier be configured to only adjust indent and not re-arrage all my code?
I don't think
It wasn't designed for that
I'd still suggest using two spaces, as convention dictates

you can try creating your own template with manually set 4 indent and then use it in new projects
Next is a framework, and does not handle formatting.
Use Prettier, Biome, or another formatting tool.
