Yes, indeed. But it might be useful to non french people too, I think.

Thank you for this trick!

I understand the problem of backward compatibility, and in this regard, it seems
difficult to modify the 'always' option. But what about adding a completely new
option?
As this might be helpful to non french people too, modifying the t-french module
only would be a pity (according to me, of course).

This is a french typographical tradition thing, isn't it?

In fact there is a common entry point for indentnext already, and
redefining that woudl do what you want, I believe:
\def\checknextindentation[#1]% original
{\processaction
[#1]
[yes=>\doindentation,
no=>\noindentation,
auto=>\autoindentation]}
\def\checknextindentation[#1]{\doindentation} % redefined
Hooking into \setupindenting may not be the best idea, because of
backward compatibility. If Hans not feel like adding an extra
inferface, my next proposal would be to add this redefined command
to the t-french module on the garden

[NTG-context] Need of a new global option for indenting?
Hi, Sorry to bother you with this question again, but I didn't get any definitive answer in the previous discussion: wouldn't it be useful to have a new option in \setupindenting that indents EVERY paragraph? I mean even after floats, formulae, heads, etc. It would be easier than to set every 'indentnext' option to 'yes'. My first thought was that it should be the role of the 'always' option. Is it silly?
