When I first started using Emacs (in 1997), I tried marking a region and pressing tab to indent it. Disappointed that it onl= y indented the first line I drummed through with arrow-down and tab. It wa= s only much later, having read up on elisp, that I bound tab to my own indent-line-or-region command. I don't want to have to remember separate key bindings - there are too ma= ny as it is. -- Ren=E9
