Description

In the .editorconfig templates one can add through Visual Studio, the file types registered for the tab spacing are:

indent_style = tab
# Code files
[*.{cs,csx,vb,vbx}]
indent_size = 4
insert_final_newline = true
charset = utf-8-bom

Presently in Visual Studio, the XML editor defaults are tabs, not spaces like all other areas. EditorConfig is some guidance we use for consistency and we should add common .NET XML file types to our default template. Namely change to add csproj/vbproj/fsproj/xml as types so the new version would be something like this.

indent_style = tab
# Code files
[*.{cs,csx,vb,vbx,csproj,vbproj,fsproj,xml}]
indent_size = 4
insert_final_newline = true
charset = utf-8-bom

Contributor guide

Research direction
Edit the .editorconfig template file to include the additional file extensions (csproj, vbproj, fsproj, xml) in the existing pattern for code files.
