I haven't done this but I think you can have your feature using your favorite external beautifier.
Use menu: Edit/Format/Send Selection to/"your custom beautifier command"

My only desire after 5 years of use is to set the default window size.  It seems to pick it for you or choose the last size you used.  I do not work in full-screen but sometimes I expand the view to 
look at something.  If I quit with it huge the next time I start it up it's huge by default and I can't just un-Maximize it. Everything else I'm quite happy with.
