Is this achievable in OS X TextView? (wrap with indent)

See screenshot from Sublime Text 2

enter image description here

The second line is wrapped with indent. Can I do this with standard TextView in OS X?

If you need visually indent wrapped lines (aka IDE editor) without modifying text storage attributes, then subclassing of NSATSTypesetter is needed. See my SO answer.

According to Text System User Interface Layer Programming Guide: Setting Text Margins, you would set a mutable paragraph style object's firstLineHeadIndent and headIndent to do that. So:

NSMutableParagraphStyle* style = [NSMutableParagraphStyle defaultParagraphStyle];
style.headIndent = style.firstLineHeadIndent = 40;
[textView.textStorage addAttribute:style value:NSParagraphStyleAttributeName range:NSMakeRange(0, textView.textStorage.length)];
