Another possibility is `M-- 3 C-x TAB', that is, give `indent-rigidly' an
argument of -3 to indent 3 characters to the left (really outdent). If you
want to outdent all the way, and you don't want to count how many chars that
is, just provide an extra-large argument, such as -99.
`indent-rigidly' and `indent-region' (`C-M-\') are slightly different,
however - check the doc to see which you really want here. In particular,
the arg to `indent-rigidly' is relative (how many chars to indent/outdent);
the arg to `indent-region' is absolute (what column to move the text to).
