IDE Questions (block indent and auto indent)

1. Is it possible for me to select a block and then hit tab, and have
the whole block indented one tab stop (as in VC) - if it is, should this
not be part of the "Editor Visual Studio Emulation" setting ?
2. Again, about VC Editor emulation: In VC, If Im searching for text,
and then hit <CTRL><SHFT><F3> it starts to search backwards - this does
not happen in the VC emulation mode - can I alter this or add this
functionality through some IDE setting or whatever? If I cant do either
of these two, is this considered a "bug" or a "missing feature" ? {:-)
3. Can I alter the way "auto-indent" works, as its standard formatting
style is not what it was in the days of Turbo C?

Thanks

Nick

Re:IDE Questions (block indent and auto indent)

I use the Brief mode and in it #1 is possible ( alt-c the block you
need, hit tab or shift-tab ). #2 I think is possible - if you changed
the direction in the search dialog, it will remain so. I'm not aware of
the keyboard combination for this.

HTH,
Alex

Hi, Nick!

Highlight the code to indent and ctrl-shift-i to indent and ctrl-shift-u
to unindent (default keymap).

Incremental search I believe follows the parameters set in the last
dialog oriented "find".
