backwards tabbing

[Martin De Kauwe]

Hi,

I have setup nedit to emulate tabs with spaces so I can use it with python.
However I then don't seem to be able to tab backwards, i.e. ctrl+tab, to
shift back to the left, that is possible in say emacs? Is there a way
to force this to happen?

Many thanks,

Martin

For a second I read that as "back stabbing" =)

Ctrl+(

moves the line left one space at a time, converting the last tab to
spaces if it has to.

You can "unexpand" from the shell menu.

You can turn off tabs from Preferences->Tabs Stops

Ctrl+shift+( will move the line to the left by the number of spaces you have set your logical tables to. Ctrl=shift+) does the same to the right. Thus you can use these to indent or un-indent a section of code.
