Setup

setup() is not required, but here is the recommendation.

require("indent_blankline").setup {
    show_current_context = true,
    show_current_context_start = true,
}

-- Actually, no setup is required, but
-- if setup comes after the indent_blankline,
-- it will try to follow the pattern matching options
-- used in indent_blankline
require("treesitter_indent_object").setup()

Key bindings are not configured by default. Here are some examples.

" vai to select context-aware indent
xmap ai <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_outer()<CR>
omap ai <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_outer()<CR>
" vaI to ensure selecting entire line (or just use Vai)
xmap aI <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_outer(true)<CR>
omap aI <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_outer(true)<CR>
" vii to select inner block (only if block, only else block, etc.)
xmap ii <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_inner()<CR>
omap ii <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_inner()<CR>
" viI to select entire inner range (including if, else, etc.) in line-wise visual mode
xmap iI <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_inner(true, 'V')<CR>
omap iI <Cmd>lua require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_inner(true, 'V')<CR>

Lua equivalent:

-- select context-aware indent
vim.keymap.set({"x", "o"}, "ai", function() require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_outer() end)
-- ensure selecting entire line (or just use Vai)
vim.keymap.set({"x", "o"}, "aI", function() require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_outer(true) end)
-- select inner block (only if block, only else block, etc.)
vim.keymap.set({"x", "o"}, "ii", function() require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_inner() end)
-- select entire inner range (including if, else, etc.) in line-wise visual mode
vim.keymap.set({"x", "o"}, "iI", function() require'treesitter_indent_object.textobj'.select_indent_inner(true, 'V') end)
