In my Emacs, space key can indent correctly 1 line. If I select several lines, and press space key, the indenting does not work.
By following this link, I try C-M-\ or C-M-q, but C-M deletes directly the whole block selected.
Here is my .emacs, could anyone help?
[Warning: This approach might lead to errors as mentioned in one of the comments. Iniviting suggestions to fix it.]
Steps to do indentation interactively.
None of the above method worked for me except Kev's- and that is too verbose for my slow fingers.
For me, I can highlight the region and press Alt-left arrow . Strangely, even though Alt registers as meta in emacs, Esc-left arrow doesn't work.
Another method to indent several lines is just to use the commands to edit several lines: Edit multiple lines at once in Emacs.
Basically, select region and then C-x r t+Tab.
