…and if the current indentation is inconsistent, just pick one. It would be way
beyond the scope of this request to, for example, figure out the indentation
around the current cursor position. In fact I would say that would be too
complex, and a bad (inconsistent) user experience.

Agree. The only settings I really care about it detecting are "expand tabs to
spaces", "spaces per indent", and "continuation indentation". Bonus points for
"label indentation" (and "absolute label indentation").

The hard part is dealing with ambiguity. Real

Re #1: I will dash your hopes. :-)
I’ve been thinking about writing a plugin to manage indentation, because so far
nothing I’ve seen does it right.
I prefer tabs for indentation. Why? because I don’t want it to be possible to
have the cursor anywhere but a valid indent level prior to the
Sorry, I forgot a fourth setting that needs to be detected/overridden: expand

To be clear (and to make things easier), the plugin doesn’t have to do the
indentation itself. It may be simpler (and probably preferred) to simply figure
out what the new indentation rules should be and dynamically change the
indentation preferences in NetBeans to the values you figured out.

Would this be as simple as a stack with the current line indentation added and
then continue to peek at current and then pop off when a change of indentation
change may occur (i.e. end of block of code, new statement, new expression,
etc.)?

You bring up a good point I didn’t think of. If the file has inconsistent
indentation, the plugin should just pick

Well, this is some original idea! If somebody needs help with such a
thing, I would do it just to learn.
But honestly for an existing file I believe you could detect the
indentation style just looking at the AST. Heuristics would work imho.
But, of course, a neural network would be the cool way
Glad to see someone interested in this feature.

Hi,
Assuming that this email doesn't get flagged as spam due to the subject line,
this is just a reminder that I have a bounty for anyone who creates a NetBeans
plugin that detects and uses the existing indentation of the file being edited.
