[un]indent-selection via [Shift-]Tab?

[pdebonte]

Hi,

Many IDEs that I've used in the past (e.g. IAR Embedded Workbench, Visual Studio 2005 Express) change the binding of Tab and Shift-Tab to indent or unindent a block if it is selected, or simply tab if there is no active selection.  Can SlickEdit do this?  I have mapped Shift-Tab to unindent-selection in the default mode, but mapping Tab to indent-selection in the default mode seems like a bad idea to me. :/

Thanks,

The default bindings for Tab and Shift+Tab in CUA emulation already have this functionality.

Bind tab to: move-text-tab
Bind shift+tab to: move-text-backtab

Thanks Marty.

I'm beginning to think that Vim emulation is just too buggy and may be the core of my troubles.  I deleted all bindings for Tab and created a single (default) binding to move-text-tab, and it still didn't work.  Switch to CUA and as you said, it just works.  I give up, I'm reverting to CUA Emulation.

Thanks again,
-Pete
