Even before changing with from 2 to 4 spaces it still didn't add those spaces when I hit enter. I did not seeany hits on how to activate that, I did save the document and nothing changed

The spaces are only added for you if you are entering code where the context requires indentation. For examples, the line following an "if" statement, or one inside the body of a class or function.
