I tried "decreaseIndentPattern" but this setting insist on acting on the current line (while "increaseIndentPattern" acts on the next line; why the apparent lack of symmetry?).

The indentNextLinePattern affects only next line, although it “stacks up” the indent, incase next line is also matched by this pattern. E.g.

   1. if true
   2.    while false
   3.       /* loop */;
   4. /* back to normal indent */;

Here line 1 is matched and so, line 2 is indented. Line 2 is also matched, so line 3 gets double indent. Line 3 is _not_ matched, so line 4 is back to the indent of line 1.

So you don’t want full symmetry here wrt. decrease next line.

Can you provide a complete Logtalk example?

Right, the rules were made pretty much for C-style languages where the token that indicates “end of block” is itself de-indented.

Specifically, on TM1, when you insert one of more black lines, TM1 wants to start at the same indent level as the last non-empty line. That's not usually want I want so I just hit backspace, start typing, and everything is fine. But, on TM2, after hitting backspace, the cursor just jumps to the last indent level as soon as I type the first character, forcing me to go back, again, and correct the indentation.
