Apply space to a zone

Apply space to a zone

[Sylvain]

Hello,

I would like to apply 2 spaces for each line of a zone but I can
manage to do it, here is how I proceed:

M-x start-kbd-macro
"do my 2 space"
end-kbd-macro
C-<SPC>
"selecting my zone"
apply-macro-to-region-lines

Thanks!
Sylvain

Hi!

You may want to know about rectangles: (info "(emacs) Rectangles") 
Specifically C-x r t and C-x r o.

Hope that helps,
Deniz

   apply 2 spaces for each line of a zone

apply two spaces for each line of a zone;
decry such races where the winner dies alone.
 can't stop now, i'm occupied!
 sit still?  wow, eyes pepperfried!
belie my paces for six months' haggard hone.

viddy, me koolest kats, dare ye to jaywalk?
club-clutching bowlerhat fancies a stray stalk:
 kowtow before the mighty sight!
 your bird, my hands, no righty flight!
nine higher than high, there goes your frayed talk.
