It's not exactly what you want, but I have a macro which I use to format the current buffer according to jEdit's mode definition. This has some auto indention stuff built in.

[code]
JEditTextArea jeTextArea = (JEditTextArea)textArea;
String originalText = jeTextArea.getText();
jeTextArea.setText("");
for(int i = 0; i < originalText.length(); i++) {
	jeTextArea.userInput(originalText.charAt(i));
}
[/code]

Just copy and paste that into a new buffer, and save it under your [settings_dir]/macros directory somewhere.

I have mine saved as [settings_dir]/macros/Development/Format.bsh

Then you can find and execute the macro from the Macros menu.

I also have some local changes to my javascript.xml file to handle '['s better.

If you open [install_dir]/modes/javascript.xml

Just change these two properties to look like this:

[code]
		<PROPERTY NAME="indentOpenBrackets" VALUE="{[" />
		<PROPERTY NAME="indentCloseBrackets" VALUE="]}" />
[/code]

Learn from the past. Live in the present. Plan for the future.
