Hi,
I have indentation set to use spaces, 4 spaces per tab.
In some old or mistreated documents I have some sections where indentation is made with two spaces instead of four.
I could not find a way to select the section and re-apply the correct indentation.
Currently I need to go through the whole document and correct the indentation selecting those lines that have the same indentation, remove that indentation and applying the new one.
I cannot do as I would think is the appropriate way:
select section or whole document
select: code>format>document|selection using>Reindent
because in that case the re-indentation does not apply to the inner indentation, only to outermost indentation.

What would the correct way be?
The Reindent formatter is actually called Python Reindent, meaning it only works for Python.
We currently do not have a language agnostic reindenter, I’m sorry. You could try configuring a formatter for your language to only fix the indentation.
Hi, you may be able to get away with selecting everything you want to re-indent, indenting it once, and then unindenting it once.
Unfortunately it did not work. Thank anyway!
OK, actually I remember now that I’ve been bitten by this before.
I found a relevant documentation: https://www.activestate.com/blog/2009/03/using-php-beautifier-komodo-ide?_ga=2.257960266.1942324750.1495814570-2075759833.1495814570
But because I’m working on a Windows laptop (but I’m best fluent on Linux system admin, LOL) I’ll save this for my next life.
I were wondering about a simple userscript that will replace e.g. 2 spaces with 4 spaces. (though tab-based indentation would be the winner there because you can easily change tab width 
)
Should be easy to implement. If you’re interested, tell me.
Such a userscript would only be able to safely replace indentation at the start of each line, and not in-line indentation.
