Is there a way to shift highlighted lines left or right in Notepad++

In the Eclipse IDE (and many others I would imagine) there is a simple shortcut to shift highlighted lines either right or left by one tab length.

I have looked through all of the TextFX in Notepad++ and only foun开发者_如何学JAVAd the ability to shift highlighted lines up or down. Is there a built in way to shift highlighted lines left or right?

Thanks for reading

Shift highlighted lines to the right one tab length by pressing the tab key. Shift them to the left by pressing shift-tab.

When lines are highlighted, the tab key doesn't replace them with a tab. It shifts them left/right instead.

Tab indents, shift-tab unindents.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.

Do you just mean that you want to select a region of your code in Notepad++ and intend or unindent it all by a certain number of tabs?

If so, it's really easy. Just select the lines you want to indent and hit <tab>. All of the lines will indent by 1 tab. I believe <shift>+<tab> will do the opposite.

We can use the following keys to move set of lines of code to forward and backwards

Right Move:

tab

Left Move:

shift+tab
