Sublime ignores syntax specific tab size for new files

I am using the latest Sublime Text 3, and have this in a syntax specific config for JavaScript

{
    "translateTabsToSpaces": true,
    "tabSize": 2
}

But every time I create a new file, it defaults to 4 spaces. I have tried adding "detect_indentation": true but then ALL files started to be 4 spaces for tabs, ignoring the syntax specific config even further.

Am I missing something?

Your settings names are incorrect. Sublime uses snake_case variables, not camelCase. Your JavaScript.sublime-settings file should look like this:

{
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
    "tab_size": 2
}

To see all of the available settings, select Preferences → Settings—Default.
