Description Andras Varga 2006-09-15 11:25:55 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I'd like to be able to indent/unindent code on the fine grain (i.e. by 1 space instead of tab) with the ALT+left/right keys. I got to know this key combination in the MED programmer's editor (www.utopia-planitia.de), and it is easy to get addicted to it. It is very convenient and intuitive.

Currently ALT+left/right is assigned to the next/previous document shortcut. That could be changed to Ctrl+Tab and Shift+Ctrl+Tab, which is also intuitive because rhymes with ALT+Tab for application switching.

ctrl[+shift]+tab is already Switch Desktop.

...except that alt+{left|right} is what I am used to from Konsole, aside 
from the fact that I just plain prefer it. But seriously, I'm sure what 
you meant is that these should be configurable shortcuts so that users 
can assign whatever keystrokes they like to them. :-)

This should be implemented as a script, see:
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/kdesdk/kate/advanced-editing-tools-scripting.html
(binding actions works in KDE >= 4.6, the documentation will be updated soon to reflect this!)
Comment 4 Christoph Cullmann 2012-11-01 01:59:20 UTC
Please provide a script, if you want this feature ;)
