How can I customize the default indent in the Chrome Javascript console to be 2 spaces?

It's strange to me that given the Chrome console is written for JS, and the JS standard indent size is two spaces- that using tab in the console gives 4 spaces. I'm new to JS and wanted to change this setting so that pressing 'tab' while in the console gives 2 spaces but can't find instructions on how to customize it.

I tried following this tutorial on customizing Chrome Dev tools, but can't get past the first step. They say to open the Main Menu to access preferences but seem to be referring to a Dev Tools main menu (vs Chrome's menu), which I can't find.

Anything helps! Thanks.

The option can be found here:

From that menu choose "Settings", alternatively press F1 to jump there.

The option is located in the "Preferences" section under the "Sources" heading.
