How to auto-indent code in the Atom editor?
How do you auto-indent your code in the Atom editor? In other editors you can usually select some code and auto-indent it.
Is there a keyboard shortcut as well?
I found the option in the menu, under Edit > Lines > Auto Indent. It doesn't seem to have a default keymap bound.
You could try to add a key mapping (Atom > Open Your Keymap [on Windows: File > Settings > Keybindings > "your keymap file"]) like this one:
'atom-text-editor':
'cmd-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
It worked for me :)
For Windows:
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-l': 'editor:auto-indent'
The accepted answer works, but you have to do a "Select All" first -- every time -- and I'm way too lazy for that.
And it turns out, it's not super trivial -- I figured I'd post this here in an attempt to save like-minded individuals the 30 minutes it takes to track all this down. -- Also note: this approach restores the original selection when it's done (and it happens so fast, you don't even notice the selection was ever changed).
1.) First, add a custom command to your init script (File->Open Your Init Script, then paste this at the bottom):
atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'custom:reformat', ->
editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor();
oldRanges = editor.getSelectedBufferRanges();
editor.selectAll();
atom.commands.dispatch(atom.views.getView(editor), 'editor:auto-indent')
editor.setSelectedBufferRanges(oldRanges);
2.) Bind "custom:reformat" to a key (File->Open Your Keymap, then paste this at the bottom):
'atom-text-editor':
'ctrl-alt-d': 'custom:reformat'
3.) Restart Atom (the init.coffee script only runs when atom is first launched).
Package auto-indent exists to apply auto-indent to entire file with this shortcuts :
ctrl+shift+i
or
cmd+shift+i
Package url : https://atom.io/packages/auto-indent
I prefer using atom-beautify, CTRL+ALT+B (in linux, may be in windows also) handles better al kind of formats and it is also customizable per file format.

You can just quickly open up the command palette and do it there
Cmd + Shift + p and search for Editor: Auto Indent
