> You need to add [`indentUnit`](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#language.indentUnit)`.of(" ")` (four space, which the forum seems to collapse) from `@codemirror/language` to your configuration.

Does “add to my configuration” mean add another extension to my [EditorStateConfig](https://codemirror.net/6/docs/ref/#state.EditorStateConfig)?

If so, where do I get `indentUnit` from? Do I import it from somewhere?

Some places I have tried to find it:

```auto
import {Indentation} from '@codemirror/language'
Indentation.indentUnit

```

```auto
import {LanguageDescription} from '@codemirror/language'
LanguageDescription.indentUnit

```
