Is there a way to indent forward in text editor?

Question

I would like to know if there's a way to indent forward multiple lines. For indent back warding, I know that I have to select multiple codes and press tab. However, is there a way to do the opposite? On a word document, I usually did tab + delete/backspace to move bullet points forward but it seems like that's not the case for text editor.

Thank you guys in advance!

Answer 1

Most Editors use Shift+Tab to backward indent text. Try this shortcut.

If your Editor does not provide this feature, try Notepad++ (Windows). This editor is a free lightweight editor for coding-tasks and it offers features like this backward indent and many many more.

On Linux systems Geany is comparable with Notepad++.
