undo tab
 

Hi,

as we all know we need tabs if we use for, if ... commands. Sometimes I
find an easier way to do something and I can get rid of one or more for,
if ... loops. Unfortunately I couldn't find a convenient way to get rid
of the now unnecessary tabs. I am looking for something as convenient as
inserting tabs (mark everything and push the tab key). I tried shift+tab
and all other possible variations with alt/shift/ctrl. :-)

Thanks for your help.
Tom

I use Xemacs, and do it with "Ctrl-c <"
I don't know about Emacs on Windows, but the "GNU Emacs FAQ For Windows"
can probably help you with this:

I use UltraEdit-32. There it works with Shift-Tab.

I had to change IDLE a bit for it to work. In Python path, go to
Tools/idle and edit AutoIndent.py. Find windows_keydefs or unix_keydefs
depending on your platform and change "<<dedent-region>>"-line to:

'<<dedent-region>>': ['<Shift-Key-Tab>'],
