    undo tab

    Hi,

    as we all know we need tabs if we use for, if ... commands. Sometimes I
    find an easier way to do something and I can get rid of one or more for,
    if ... loops. Unfortunately I couldn't find a convenient way to get rid
    of the now unnecessary tabs. I am looking for something as convenient as
    inserting tabs (mark everything and push the tab key). I tried shift+tab
    and all other possible variations with alt/shift/ctrl. :-)

    Thanks for your help.
    Tom

      I use Xemacs, and do it with "Ctrl-c <"
      I don't know about Emacs on Windows, but the "GNU Emacs FAQ For Windows"
      can probably help you with this:

      Emacs FAQ for MS Windows - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
      http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html


      HTH,
      Andreas

          I use UltraEdit-32. There it works with Shift-Tab.

              I had to change IDLE a bit for it to work. In Python path, go to
              Tools/idle and edit AutoIndent.py. Find windows_keydefs or unix_keydefs
              depending on your platform and change "<<dedent-region>>"-line to:

              '<<dedent-region>>': ['<Shift-Key-Tab>'],
