That's not as simple as it could be. Also, if once selected right, not being asked next time. How to indent left then? Probably there is a docu... However, IMO a command indenting left or right should not need much docu, it should just do it. Thus indent-rigidly seems not first choice as a caller.

Bug? Also docstring says: If called interactively with no prefix argument, activate a transient mode in which the indentation can be adjusted interactively by typing <left>, <right>, S-<left>, or S-<right>. Typing any other key exits this mode, and this key is then acted upon as normally. That's too complex for such a simple thing.

Well, if "upto" yields zero spaces, then the OP will think that "nothing happened". ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread

Bug? Did you select the text to outdent (i.e., active region)? Did you use `M-- 4 C-x TAB'? If not, there's your problem. If yes, `M-x report-emacs-bug'. > If called interactively with no prefix argument, activate a > transient mode in which the indentation can be adjusted interactively > by typing <left>, <right>, S-<left>, or S-<right>. > Typing any other key exits this mode, and this key is then > acted upon as normally. > > That's too complex for such a simple thing. Is using a prefix arg too complex? You're not obliged to use incremental indenting/outdenting. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 11+ messages in thread
