I use the "smart indentation" feature and I think it works fine the way it is. It may not be perfect, but in most cases it does exactly what it's supposed to.

I'm very wondered how does "smart indentation" feature work. If

is empty, it removes indent assuming that single empty line is an
empty indent.
Smart indentation for multiple lines is absolutely awful: it doesn't
take into
account internal sub-indents and makes selection "flat".
It's a lie, this feature isn't smart, it just sets the same
indentation
than the previous line.
Is anybody using this?
I doubt it
Under "smart" indentation people assume astyle, php-beautifier and
so on:

Yeah, we know we should have a nice (and complex) system for configurable smart indentation, but every time we tried to think
about
it we discovered that some languages are so crazy that it's really
not
simple, and probably would require some specific code for some
languages
(did I say Haskell?). And nobody did the filetypes plugins yet :(
However, you might be able to use some indenters tools from Geany
using
custom commands to some extent. In a similar way, I once started a multi-indernters plugin, but I didn't finish it for various reasons,
one
being my lack of much interest in it (I'd rather work on a solution
for
configurable and nice thing for Geany than on wrapping gnuindent,
astyle
or others, tools I never really used). If anyone is interested, it's here: https://github.com/b4n/grind
And for "smart" indentation/formatting, I have written a plugin which works with C, C++, Objective-C (and I think I remember they talked about JS support) by using clang-format. See:
