Can anyone please explain me how to get the tab to be three-spaces
wide on new lines?
I.e. when I type on the new line
"type"
and press Enter
How do I get three spaces for my indent, rather than two?

I have 2 spaces consistently here with all possible options on and off

Tools->Option->Editor->General->Tab and Indent

Note the drop down does not have 3 in its list, but you can enter the
value in its drop down

Sorry, I tried the setup from your screenshot to the best but it's
still two spaces for me
Can you confirm that you actually get three spaces with it?

The simplest case
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]window.onload = function(){var x1 =
document.getElementById("main_content_section"); if (x1) { var x =
document.getElementsByClassName("geshi");for (var i = 0; i program
project1;beginend.If I press enter at the end of "program project1;" I
get no indent at all
If I press enter at the end of "begin" I get two spaces - no matter
what I set in options

To compare, in Delphi 11 I get no indent in both cases
