The indentation is called Whitesmiths style [1]. We currently don't
have an exact guideline, for example like Google's style guide [2].
Maybe some editors have the ability to explicitly set a style. At
least in Vim, you can use this:
autocmd FileType bro set noexpandtab cino='>1s,f1s,{1s'
This gives you reasonably close support for brace placement. (It also
assumes you have a Bro syntax plugin.)
I'm curious how others have tweaked their editors, not for syntax
highlighting, but to get an efficient and style-compatible working
environment.
