heyas;
i discovered this one day while trying to erase an entire default script by selecting it, then hitting tab to write a new event.
if you select a block of text, and hit tab, it doesnt erase it. instead... it increases the tab of your selection.
so, lets say you just copied and pasted a script from the forums, and everything is annoyingly right justified. select everything between the default state { and }, then hit tab. voila!
you want bits inside each event tabbed more? do it again on those parts.
eh, well, i dunno, i thought it was kinda cool. im sorta a neat-freak anyway :X

Yes and the converse works too. shift-tab reduces the indent.

It's a great feature that is sadly missing from lots of code editors. (I first ran across it in MS Visual Studio when learning C++).

I discovered it the same way you did: trying to delete code. I didn't know about shift-tab, though. Thanks, VV!

I only use the internal editor for quick scripts, so I hadn't come across this before, cool. Although, any script with more then a few lines and I would recommend using an external editor like TextPad. When combined with TortoiseSVN you get full version control which is great with long projects.
