Key command to format code

Key command to format code

[Harry Putnam]

Pretty discouraged to be posting about this.  Somehow I've forgotten
the key combo to format a region of code.

I've been looking for it for 1/2 hour already.

C-h i m emacs
index search for `format'  no luck or I'm overlooking it.

C-h b (view all bindings) Then C-s for format... no luck

s (regex)  search with `format' and `format.*code' .. no luck

This command should be findable with the keyword of `format' and
maybe it is, but not for me.

Do you want `indent-region'? C-M-\

If not, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "format code".

Yup

You guys have lowered the suicide rate in Southern Cal by one today.
Thanks.

I still think it should be findable by searching on `format'.
If Eli sees this, I think he might fix it so it is.

I see it, but I'm not sure when I'll have time to make the change, or 
even think about it.  Soo swamped these days.

Please post this request to gnu.emacs.bug, since you want to report a 
documentation bug.

Thanks.

Yeah its not exactly a big one.  Certainly not worth stopping
important work for.  I did send the bug but it went to 
 emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org since I used the Help/bug report menu.
