Is there such an option, to change the tab size in the workspace? Or the auto identation? I am doing the Java course and using the workspace which is pretty nice but I think the identation width is only 2 spaces. Can i change it to 4? Which makes the code, in my opinion, better readable.

At the bottom right corner of your workspace, as long as you have a file open that is editable, there should be a link that you can click. If your indent is currently set to 2, it will display "Spaces 2".
Click that and you can change it. :)
Happy coding.
