Keyboard shortcut to untab move a block of code to the left in eclipse aptana

Question

Well  hopefully the question is self-explanatory   It s so easy to select a block of code and tab out  but how about the reverse   Currently  I just search  amp  replace for whitespace at the beginning of the line  Anything faster

Shift-tab doesn t seem to work on multi-lines in Aptana  It also doesn t work on single lines with a single preceding space  Any workarounds  I use shift-tab  outdent  to fix badly formatted code all the time   I miss NetBeans      UPDATE  it works on multi-newlines  if the multi-lines have the same level of indentation  It should just continue outdenting the other lines that haven t reached the beginning of the new line yet  Is there an option to change this I wonder

This workaround works most of the time  It uses eclipse s  smart insert  features instead    Control X to erase the selected block of text  and keep it for pasting  Control Shift Enter  to open a new line for editing above the one you are at  You might want to adjust the tabbing position at this point  This is where tabbing will start  unless you are at the beginning of the line  Control V to paste back the buffer    Hope this helps until Shift TAB is implemented in Eclipse

Shift-tab does that in Flex Builder  Based on Eclipse  - SO it hopefully should work in regular eclipse

In Visual Studio and most other half decent IDEs you can simply do SHIFT TAB  It does the opposite of just TAB   I would think and hope that the IDEs you mention support this as well

Don t know if anyone is still looking here  but you can do this by going to Window menu   Preferences  then open the General list  choose keys  Scroll down the list of keys until you see  Shift Left   Click that  Below that you ll see some boxes  one of which lets you bind a key  It won t accept Shift-Tab  so I bound it to Shift-   Apply-and-close and you re all set
