Python. How to remove tab indent from several lines?

Question

If you want to indent several lines in Python you just mark the lines and hit Tab. But what if you want to remove the indent from several lines? Is there a quick way to do that?

Thanks

edit: I use IDLE.

Answer 1

Depends on your editor.

Have you tried Shift+Tab?

Answer 2

Shift-Tab
Ctrl-Tab
< key

depends on your editor.

Answer 3

If you're using IDLE, you can use Ctrl+] to indent and Ctrl+[ to unindent.

Answer 4

If you're using IDLE, and the Norwegian keyboard makes Ctrl-[ a problem, you can change the key.

1. Go Options->Configure IDLE.
2. Click the Keys tab.
3. If necessary, click Save as New Custom Key Set.
4. With your custom key set, find "dedent-region" in the list.
5. Click Get New Keys for Selection.
6. etc

I tried putting in shift-Tab and that worked nicely.

Answer 5

Thank you. That works. Shift-Tab does not work by default in IDLE.
