What puzzles me is the difficulty of finding the option for indenting with a Tab. correction: Why this wasn't default behaviour from get-go is a mystery. The secret option is called Allow Tab key to indent text blocks and it was introduced in version 13.1.2. Remember the statement on not sucking? There is a well-hidden option: Not BBEdit! It simply replaces entire selection with a tab-character. Virtually every single one of those has functionality to highlight a section of text and indent selection by pressing Tab. Remember, earlier I mentioned a long list of editors. It happens to be in a rather unreadable state and sprinkling bit of indent on top of it should make the content easily readable. In above example, I'm editing a JSON-file. Oh, but it does! It can be made less sucky, though. That vastly overrated waste-of-disc-space a last resort editor for me. They have no clue what a developer needs. Note: VScode is utter crap! People who designed VScode were high on drugs or plain old-fashioned idiots. Short list with typical ones would be: IntelliJ and Visual Studio. Then there is the long list of IDEs available on many platforms I've used or am still using to work with multiple programming languages and file formats. Both use Ctrl- s, but won't work over SSH-session. On Windows, mostly Notepad++ rarely Windows' own Notepad. On Linux, I definitely use Vim, rarely Emacs, almost never Nano (any editor requiring Ctrl- s over SSH is crap!). Fact remains there aren't that many of them commonly used. As a software developer I've pretty much used all text editors there is.
