<p>In many languages, under many coding styles, given the following line:</p>
<pre><code>some_var = some_function_name(long_argument_name, another_one,
</code></pre>
<p>the next line should begin at column 30 — right after the opening parenthesis:</p>
<pre><code>some_var = some_function_name(long_argument_name, another_one,
                              more_stuff, even_more_stuff)
</code></pre>
<p>(same for brackets and braces).</p>
<p>At the very least, this is true for Python according to <a href="https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/">PEP 8</a>.</p>
<p>Many popular editors (for example, Emacs and Sublime Text) do this indentation automatically, but Geany does not, leaving the user to insert a long string of spaces manually, which is quite a nuisance (also runs the risk of forgetting to press <em>Insert Alternative White Space</em> instead of just Tab).</p>
<p>It should not be too hard to do the right thing in <a href="https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/master/src/editor.c"><code>get_indent_size_after_line</code></a>, at least for Python, which already has a dedicated <code>get_python_indent</code>.</p>
