Yes, easily - 1 of 4 different ways I can think of off the top of my head - either: 1. Highlight the block and press Ctrl-I (In Preferences, have your tabs set to use spaces instead of the tab character - Set tab to be 4 spaces or whatever your preferred indent size is). 2. Highlight the block then use the Edit,Format, Fill selection - this will add whatever text or spaces you choose to the start of a highlighted block. I have a shortcut key assigned as I use this function all the time. Normally for adding a block of repeating comments like !! <<TODO>> FIX THIS BUG !! 3. Use the column select feature (Alt+C or Alt+Mouse click&drag) then press the tab key - it will indent as many times as you press the key (Same as Ctrl I really but you can do this in the middle of a line to space out end of line comments for example). 4. Use the regular expression function of search/replace: Search For ^(.) Replace with \t\1 Also useful if you only want to indent code but not lines starting with a comment charater for example. I have to say EditPlus is absolutely brilliant. It's a virtual IDE - you can plug in pretty much any tool you want. I have it set to compile (but not debug yet) from a keystroke. The facilities like regex, macros, column select and folder search are fantastic. Cheers, Stuart

If you want to add say, 4 spaces to the beginning a block of lines (to indent a block), you can't do that. whereas in ED, you would just set < & >, and r// /b (or use a #) Anyone found a way to do this in EditPlus?
