IntelliJ IDEA doesn't want to indent with tab

I want to indent with tabs, so I checked "Use tab character" in settings. But when I open projects which were indented with tabs, IntelliJ IDEA still asks me if I want to convert the indenting to spaces or keep it that way. Also, it creates new classes with space indenting. How can I solve this? enter image description here

Your screenshot shows the settings for your Default (1) scheme. Those settings are not applied to your project automatically. It's not enough to just select it in the combobox. You need to import this scheme into your project.

Click Manage... and Copy to Project, and it should work as expected. This needs to be done for all your projects.

Also, make sure you're changing the language-spefic settings, so instead Code Style select Code Style > Java (or whatever language you are using). Those settings may override the default code styles.
