How is it faster to : outdent manually than to use: : Shift+(Down x 5) : Shift+Tab : That's a total of 7 keypresses as you can keep shift down between going : down and hitting tab. : How is that less effort than (Down, Backspace) x 5? I referred to "a small number of lines". I reckon by that I mean 1, 2, or sometimes 3. I find it easier to use the cursor keys and delete than shift-combinations. They are right under my fingers it all times - and I wind up knowing where I am and not having concern myself with clearing the selection. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ tim@tt1.org
