There are some common patterns (you've already noted that "offset" and "indent" are likely terms), but ultimately each mode is free to implement indentation however it likes using any arbitrary variable … Furthermore a derived mode might rely entirely on its parent mode for indentation, and consequently the variable(s) in question may not even have the name prefix you expect. …

(setq indent-tabs-mode t)) Provided java-mode only ever indents to multiples of tab-width, this ought to give you tab-only indentation. … If not, you would need to determine how to control the level of indentation in java-mode so that you can set that (and/or tab-width -- another buffer-local value) to coincide, so that only tabs will be …

If the indentation is spaces rather than tabs, give redshift-indent a try. … e.g.: With prefix arg 2, indentation will appear 2 times its normal width. …

That said, I find tabs bad for shell script indentation, as copying and pasting code from a script into a shell running in a terminal can be problematic. …

This is a variant of my answer to copy region without leading indentation which acts directly in the original buffer. … (interactive "P\nr") (save-excursion ;; Establish the minimum level of indentation. …

In asm-mode, C-hk; reports that ; is bound to asm-comment. The Commentary for asm-mode.el (M-x find-library RET asm-mode RET) says: This minor mode is based on text mode. It defines a private abbre …

I noticed that when in ... any mode without an indent-line-function ... the TAB key will jump between columns. I think you've noticed and ignored the answer to your own question. Those modes are …

The "gnu" style sets c-basic-offset to 2, so that's where that's coming from. As you have specific needs for a specific filename extension, I'd probably just define a derived mode to use with auto-mo …

Don't use this version if you use tabs for indentation (although unless you're mixing spaces and tabs, you didn't have a problem to begin with, as for the tabs-only approach you can simply adjust tab-width … I decided to pop it on the Wiki as-is on account of seeing another question View code with different indentation than saved to disk -- before I realised that the other question wasn't actually a duplicate …

I can reproduce this and it seems like a bug (please do report it), but you can work around it by putting a space after the semicolon (which I think almost everyone does, which would explain why this …

C-hig (emacs)Indentation The simplest way to perform indentation is the <TAB> key. In most major modes, this runs the command ‘indent-for-tab-command’. … If point was initially within the current line’s indentation, it is repositioned to the first non-whitespace character on the line. …
