Answer 1

If you want auto-indent just like Emacs does it on TAB, i.e. indent the current line and move the cursor to the first non-whitespace character, do this:

1. Go to Tools -> Options -> Editor -> Macros
2. Create a new macro and call it something like "tabindent"

3. Insert the following macro code:

   reindent-line caret-line-first-column caret-begin-line

4. Click "Set Shortcut" and press TAB
