      And in the settings of BAS, enable format on save so no need to use the format shortcut anymore 🙂

      I tried this but sadly it doesn't correct the indentation of the whole page. Any additional setting needs to be done?

      There is a preference in Editor named "Format On Save - Enable format on manual save". If you turn that on, js can be formatted easily with each Ctrl+s (manual save). But for XML, that small extension you mentioned is needed to be installed and after that Ctrl+s can format that XML as well. No need to Shift+Alt+f or Format Document from options after right click.
