(un)Identing lines space by space also

[jcelle]

Hello,
I am often selecting lines of code and indent or unindent them using the TAB and SHIFT+TAB keys.
In my previous editors it was also possible to use SPACE and SHIFT+SPACE to refine the indentation.
Unfortunately in SlickEdit if you press SPACE with a selection of lines active you just lose your lines and get a ... space.
I was wondering if there was a way to achieve this ?
My current workaround is a complex select-block operation...

Thanks for any clue. I am sure I am missing something here.

How about edit/other/shift...  (shift f7 and shift f8)

[jcelle]

ah that's interesting, it is so hidden that I had never noticed this one.
I'll check how to inject this in space function if a selection exists, but right now that is much better than what I was doing by clearing the lines selection to create a block selection or even sometimes adjusting line by line.
Thank you !

This is also a good place to make use of multiple cursors.  I like to do that holding down Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Down until I have cursors on all the lines I want to re-indent.  If you overshoot, you can undo to remove the extra cursors.

Oh that's a nice one too !
Question though: how do you remove the extra cursors ? I tried to press ESC but no way, had to close SE !

Esc should work.  What emulation are you in?  If you go to Help > Where is command > "cmdline_toggle", is it bound to Esc?
