I apologize for the confusion. The reason I am trying to avoid the ESC key is that it requires me to stretch my fingers more :) Regards, Kashyap --00151744825cb2666004a8514c57 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
It does here. =A0= Are you sure it acts differently from C-M-\?

(While trying out, I found that `indent-region' doesn't always inde= nt,
but its docs (C-h k ESC C-\) tell you how it determines if and to where
it indents.)

Actually, you can force it to indent using a prefix arg:

=A0C-u 4 C-M-\ =A0 =A0 =A0;; indent to 4th column
=A0C-u 4 C-[ C-\ =A0 =A0;; ditto
=A0C-u 4 ESC C-\ =A0 =A0;; ditto

Bye,
Tassilo



My bad ... it seems to do it now .= .. I apologize for the confusion.
The reason I am trying to avoid the E= SC key is that it requires me to stretch my fingers more :)
