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 found 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


Solution

  • 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.
