That depends on what you mean by "auto-indent". If you simply mean
inserting one or more tabs at the beginning of each new line you could
catch the keyevent and listen for enter as in the attached example.
If on the other hand you're thinking of something like automatic
indention of sourcecode according to syntactic nesting of blocks and
the like you need to be a little more clever...
