It's not just “might”. Termux is pretty much the only good choice for programming on Android.

I think 9 is the best size for indent (matter of preference), do you think I should switch to space

I think you should switch to an exorcist.

What's your point ? You can use vim on termux and set the tabsize to whatever you want for example.

Yes, but if you use something like cat, head, less, etc. to view code, or the Python REPL, you're still going to see the default tab size.

You can set the tabstop with less -x*n*. But ok I see what you mean. I still stand by my point though. If termux doesn't support setting tabstops and it's an issue, then it's a bug in termux, not a reason to level down your formatting standard.

Also :exorcise is only a quick pluginstall away, anyway. /s
