How to use tabs for Markdown indentation in IntelliJ 2020.2.1

Question

For every file type it is possible to press the button at the end of the bottom bar and change to tabs in the popup but the popup for Markdown does not show an option to use tab character, even though the buttons says "Configure Indents".

How can I use tabs for Markdown without having to do "CTRL+SHIFT+A -> To Tabs" after every time I've finished writing?
