In Visual Studio I can press Ctrl+K+D to indent everything so the code is structured nicely and readable. Is there a shortcut in Sublime 2 to do the same?

You can find it in Edit → Line → Reindent, but it does not have a shortcut by default. You can add a shortcut by going to the menu Preferences → Keybindings → User, then add there:

{ "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false} }

(example of using the F12 key for that functionality)

The config files use JSON-syntax, so these curly braces have to be placed comma-separated in the square-brackets that are there by default. If you don't have any other key-bindings already, then your whole Keybindings → User file would look like this, of course:

[
    { "keys": ["f12"], "command": "reindent", "args": {"single_line": false}}
]
