RE: Re: Problems Inserting spaces from current cursorposition to next Tab

Kim,

Now I understand.  Yes, I have wished for that too but haven't found a way to 
make it happen yet. 

In regards to Samuels' post, I frequently use the 'R' and 'L' commands from PDM 
in the jLPEX editor to shift lines of code right or left.  'RR' and 'LL' will 
move blocks of code.  Follow the first command with the number of spaces to 
shift.  Not necessarily the most efficient but it gets the job done.

Maybe someone knows a better way.

Rick
