Indentation: keyboard shortcuts

 

Nota Bene provides keyboard shortcuts to change the indentation:

 

Block indentation

 

Either of the following keyboard shortcuts can be used to indent a block of text.

 

Press Ctrl+Tab to indent a paragraph to the first tab. If your cursor is on a paragraph, the whole paragraph will be block indented. If the cursor is not on a paragraph, the cursor will be indented and you can begin typing a block-indented paragraph. Press Ctrl+Tab again to indent the paragraph to the second tab. Press Ctrl+Shift+Tab to move a paragraph that is already block-indented one tab to the left or to move the cursor to the left so that you can resume typing text that is not block indented.
Press Shift+Enter to begin a block indent. The indentation will be to the first tab. Press Shift+Enter again to end a block indent, or press Shift+Enter twice to end a block indent and start a new indented paragraph. Select a paragraph and press Shift+Enter to block indent the paragraph (make sure that you have selected the full paragraph including the paragraph marker at the end). Note that this method can only be used in documents that have the first line of paragraphs indented.  .

 

Hanging indentation

 

To set a hanging indent for one paragraph, place the cursor on the paragraph to be indented and press Ctrl+H.  Press Ctrl+H again to reverse the hanging indent.

 

More options for a block indent are available by using the menus. See Indentation.
