How to indent only the first line of a paragraph in Geany?

I like using Geany as a text editor. There is only one drawback: you cannot indent only the first line of a paragraph. Perhaps there is some way or plugin to add indentation only for the first line of a paragraph?

Manually, by using the Ctrl-I shortcut (listed here under "Editing")...

More info here under "Indentation" and Auto-Indentation"...

Try perltidy (sudo apt install perltidy)

perltidy <input >output --indent-only

man perltidy (but you do not need it)

The question is probably: how to view the indented block of text of filetype 'common', where paragraph is single line wrapped. If that is the case then in

~/.config/geany/filedefs/filetypes.common

add

line_wrap_indent=0;0;

Hooray! Thanks to all who responded, especially brontosaurusrex, because by changing line_wrap_indent=0;1; to line_wrap_indent=0;0; in Geany 1.36 on line 86 I got the desired indentation of only the first line of the paragraph.
