I work on different projects with their own conventions, so I face similar challeneges. One thing that has helped has been convincing people to use EditorConfig, which BBEdit and most IDEs and editors support. It allows you to configure indentation formats for different languages, so they can use two-space indenting for YAML and 4 spaces for JavaScript. So you can leave your global defaults set to your own preferences and still comply with the arbitrary and often hare-brained demands of the people you sometimes have to work with.
Another solution I've toyed with but never actually implemented is using git hooks to change the formatting of files when they're checked in and checked out. If it could be done right, we'd be able to use any style we prefer locally and still have the files formatted appropriately for the project when we check them in.
