How to UN-indent a line of text
Hello list... I can't seem to find how to UN-indent a line of text with JOE. The "help" screen shows how to indent, but not the other way. I use "jmacs".

To indent a single line you just use the Tab key, but I don't think there is a way to unindent a single line. Someone please speak up if there actually is a way to do that. This is for the standard joe layout. Not sure if it is also valid for jmacs. -- Robin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, I found the answer, for anyone interested. Emacs (and jmacs seems to follow it closely) has the notion of "command repeat" using ^U <some_integer>, e.g. ^U 4 or ^U -4, which means "repeat the next command 4 times forwards, or 4 times backward respectively. The "Jmacs" indent command is: ^X^I which indents exactly 1 space. Chaining the 2 commands together like:(Continue reading)
