I’m using a fully licensed version of Idea.
I just created a custom file type for *.jade files. Generally, I use a 4-space tab-size, but for *.jade files, I want to use a 2-space size.
That’s it. I don’t want a work around. I want to be able to set a specific tab size for only *.jade files.

says: “…tab and indent size can be specified per file type.”
It’s not possible to specify indent settings separately for custom file types right now. Such functionality is provided by the language specific plug-ins (even some language plug-ins do not allow to set custom indents and use settings from the General tab).
