The Smart Indentation options located in the Text Editor behavior section can be customized in more detail as follows:
General:

Continuous line indent multiplier
Indicates how the next line will be indented relatively to the current line if the current line contains a line continuation character (|). Values range is 0 ' 10.
Enable entered line formatting
Indents a line after the Enter key is pressed at the end of the line.
Format text after pasting several lines
Auto format according to your current settings when several lines of text are pasted.
Indent comments
Indicates that any commented text will be treated as other non-commented text based on the current settings. For example, if the “pasting” option is active below, comments will be indented when pasting. If this option is off, comments will not be indented when pasting.

Indicates that any single line comment that started on the first column will not be indented even if the Indent comments option is enabled.
