    I'm not against this idea, but I wonder how many people would then think they could indent paragraphs without applying the formatting as code. (Or: be wondered why indented text is formatted as code.) Commented Jul 22, 2014 at 22:58
  • I fully support this. Please please please implement it. Commented Jul 12, 2016 at 0:14
  • @StephanKristyn Well, this was asked seven years ago, so I don't think there's much chance of that. You can sort of do this, however, by selecting the chunk of text you want to fix and hitting ctrl-k. That will either indent it, or if it is indented more than four spaces, move it back. It's useful for fixing code that's over-indented. Commented Jul 12, 2016 at 12:48
