Adding indentation to multiple lines at once in Python's IDLE

Question

I have written many lines of code already, and have now changed my mind on their indentation. (I want to put all of these lines into a 'while' loop.)

For each line, I could press the space button or tab, but this would take a long time.

Can I add the appropriate indentation/margin to all these lines at once?

Answer 1

In Sublime Text , highlight text and press TAB (or SHIFT + TAB to do the opposite ie remove one level of indentation). This will do the same as adding a tab at the beginning of every line.

These shortcuts is the same in several other text editors, eg Notepad++, Eclipse and even Word.

Other editors may use different/additional shortcuts eg in CTL + ] or CTL + [ ) in IDLE (and Sublime Text).
