indent multiple lines in nano

by i | May 17, 2023 | Uncategorized

i was today’s old when i figured out that i may want to indent multiple lines of code at once, (yay configmaps) so if you’re looking to accomplish the same thing, here’s how:

i’d recommend setting up your ~/.nanorc

set tabsize 4

set tabstospaces

Then,

1 – Go to the line you want to start and start the marker: “Alt+a” or “Esc+a”

2 – scroll down and you will see a mark being set over the text. Stop when you need.

3 – To indent left or right, use “Alt+Shift+ { or }”

That’s about it
