    Indentation question

    I have a real basic how-to question. When I decide to reuse a piece of
    python code at a different indentation level than the original, is there
    a common trick (or set of tricks) for moving the indentation correctly
    for the whole block? Probably this is editor dependent, so if some has
    a FAQ or pointer to a page please feel free to post. Typical I use
    PythonWin as my editor, though sometimes I use EditPadLite (an ascii
    editor).

    TIA

      This works for PythonWin, I don't know for EditPadLite. In IDLE (in
      windows at least), the keypresses are ^[ and ^] for unindenting and
      indenting, respectively; check the Edit menu for the actual shortcuts.

              I just tried it in EditPad and PythonWin. It works in both. Thanks
              guys, this is real handy to know.

                  Re: Indentation question

                  I can suggest two editors which does the block indentation.

                  1. IDLE
                  2. GNU Emacs

                  In IDLE AFAIK, this option is available as "Dedent Region"
                  to indent the code-block lesser, and "Indent Region" to indent
                  it more, i.e to the right.

                  In GNU Emacs, you can mark the region you want to indent/dedent,
                  go to the Editor menu and say, "Indent Right More", "Indent Left More",
                  etc which respectively indents the code-block more to the right
                  and more to the left.

                      AFAIK PythonWin uses the Scintilla editor component?

                      This should (could?) work with all other Scintilla-based editors too:
                      SciTE, pyCrust, Eric3, Wing IDE, Boa Constructor, Black Adder, etc.

                          Yes.

                          This will work by default in Scintilla based editors. The container may
                          override the key binding which may happen when they emulate another editor
                          such as EMACS.
