Apart from the key handling items this seems to come down to coding style.
It might be nice to offer groups of settings based on common coding styles
(like the indent program does ;), like GNU, K&R style, (GNU being default
style perhaps). Also usefulness of this depends on how many aspects of
coding style you are able to control, eg. comment formatting, use of blank
lines etc.
