This should be possible.

One problem here is tab is used to jump to fields in auto-completed snippets. It should be feasible to have some other key combo trigger a re-indent of the file. It may be that atom already has a standard key combo for this… In most IDEs this is a contextual menu option rather than a standard behavior. I image if you were in a team and using different editors that had slight differences in the re-ident behavior then it would make a real mess of you git history…
