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". TIA...

If you have a block marked the way to indent is to use "Ctrl-K .", to
unindent that block you use "Ctrl-K ,".

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.

Thanks for the reply! _Not_ valid for "jmacs".

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:
