often, i want to indent every line except two or three lines somewhere

select a line in either block or line visual mode?
Visual mode doesn't allow for disjoint selections, but you can
target them by regular expressions using :g or :v so you can do
something like highlight your range and then issue
:'<,'>v/pattern_to_find_lines_to_ignore/sil! >
(the "'<,'>" auto-inserts) will indent all the lines in the range
that don't match whatever pattern you specify. The "sil!" is
there just to prevent the annoying repetition notifying you that
"1 line(s) indented". You can use "<" to dedent, or specify any
other Ex command you want to issue on each of those lines.
