Well, I don't think that that is what is expressed by the FAQ, which says: "You can disable the auto-indentation entirely by adding a new settings item (scoped to the language) as follows: { disableIndentCorrections = :true; }"

I suggest that the FAQ be amended for clarity and accuracy.

(I do not know whether also to suggest an additional setting that does what the FAQ currently says this setting does, but I think it might not be a bad idea. One might want to say, as I did, "shelter me from inherited autoindentation rules, wherever they are coming from.")
