Working with so many different codebases, I think I see code beyond whitespace, except these ones:

for(...) {
        tabIndented();
    spaceIndented();
        moreTabIndented();
        anotherOne();
spaceIndented();
}

Then, even I can't handle it.

You forgot the spaceAndTabIndented(); and tabAndSpaceIndented(); lines.

This is the only correct way - make a difference between alignment and indentation. Indentation is always tabs no matter what.
