Control-I re-indents the current line or the selection.  Control-A selects everything.

Wow, never heard that one before.  They are having so much trouble using the editor to write it normally in the first place?  Sounds like vanity anyway.  For Qt examples which thousands of people will read, maybe we should worry about it, but in regular production code?

You can probably repurpose some other tool for which the supported syntax is close enough - maybe a JS reformatter tool of some sort?  Or even a C++ tool if its parser isn’t too picky?
