How can indentation be automatically (not manually) corrected in IntelliJ?
In Eclipse, it's possible to just highlight the code that needs indenting, right-click, and select Source
> Correct indentation
.
Is there any method for doing the same thing in IntelliJ?
Code
→ Reformat Code...
(default Ctrl + Alt + L) for the whole file or Code
→ Auto-Indent Lines
(default Ctrl + Alt + I) for the current line or selection.
You can customise the settings for how code is auto-formatted under File
→ Settings
→ Editor
→ Code Style
.
To ensure comments are also indented to the same level as the code, you can simply do as follows:
(example for JavaScript)
Ctrl + Alt + L works with Android Studio under xfce4 on Linux. I see that Gnome used to use this shortcut for lock screen, but in Gnome 3 it was changed to Super+L (AKA Windows+L):

Select Java editor settings for Intellij
Select values for Tabsize, Indent & Continuation Intent
(I choose 4,4 & 4)
Then Ctrl + Alt + L to format your file (or your selection).
In Android Studio this works:
Go to File->Settings->Editor->CodeStyle->Java.
Under Wrapping and Braces uncheck "Comment at first Column"
Then formatting shortcut will indent the comment lines as well.
You can also try out ctrl + alt + I even though you can also use l as well.
