"De-Indent" in a macro?

Defiler · Jan 11, 2005#12005-01-11T17:46+00:00

I've been trying to create a macro that does the following:
Select All
Shift-Tab (de-indent) repeated ten times
Strip trailing spaces
Deselect all

However, I can't find the "de-indent" action anywhere in the macro UI. Is there some other way to gain access to it, or is this a feature that just hasn't been added yet.

Thanks.

Could you do a regular expression search that would say something like

"Find all lines in the selected text that start with any number of spaces or tabs, and replace all occurrences of those spaces or tabs with nothing"

Find RegExp "^[ \t]*"
Replace All SelectText ""

You could possibly specify the number of spaces or tabs, to move routines to the left but have them remain indented.

Good one. Thanks.
