To me it basically seems backwards. Of course I am not arguing against having a robust configuration for setting indentation settings, it's usually the ideal way to handle this sort of thing. However, it's ultimately still just a convenience feature; all you really need is the ability to set the indentation settings for the current buffer.

As far as editors that have automatic indentation features, Zed is definitely the first one I can think of where it had configuration for indentation settings per project/per language, but no ability to change it for the current buffer.

I'm sure in due time, it will probably gain most of these features as more people jump in and run into these problems.
