This is pretty hard without a full blown parser.

Do you mean it automatically indents things? That is, it changes the
indentation level for you? In a previous message you wrote:

If I understand correctly, pgEdit does this (keeps the indentation
level of the previous line). But it does not try to guess a different
indentation level of the next line based on the surrounding syntax.
