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

 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:
