    Not sure if you're planning on this type of capability, but I use this quite a bit in other editors when cleaning up code (I don't trust automated cleanup utils). I end up using the Undo command often when my selected lines are deleted by not having the feature in Araneae.

    The feature would go like this:

    Select a line (or multiple lines) of code and choose the Indent toolbar button (or a keystroke, like Tab) and the entire line(s) would indent by the amount you've specified in your Tab Size setting. Naturally, selecting Outdent would decrease the distance of the line(s) from the left margin by the amount you've specified in your Tab Size setting.

    Just thought I'd share.

    Nice forums, btw. Great way to get the user community involved in self-help.

    Hi SSubtle,

    You'll be relieved to know that block indentation will be in Araneae 5.

    I have no idea why I didn't include this feature in previous versions; I can't even count the number of times I've overwritten entire blocks of HTML with a tab character.

    As for the forums, I figured this would be a fun way to set up a sort of 'interactive FAQ'. It's definitely a plus to get the community involved. I just hope people start using it.

    Great to hear! Can't wait to see the next version.

    I'll be stopping by the forums every now and then, so I try to help out if I can.
