How to indent multiple lines by single characters in Geany?

Basically I'm looking for what is analogous to selecting a block of text or lines and hitting tab; but instead of tab doing so with the space-bar.



Is there an easy shortcut for it? Can't find anything anywhere. When I select a block of text, and hit the space-bar it replaces the lot with a single space!

As @DK Bose said in his comment above...




  1. Position the cursor directly in front of the first line which you
    are wanting to indent by 1 or more single character spaces.

  2. Press Alt+Shift and (in my case) press the down arrow to grow the
    cursor to how ever many lines you want (removing line wrapping
    helps!). Basically you'll end up with a very long vertical cursor
    blinking.

  3. Press space! It will now move multiple lines at the same time by a
    single character spacing.

            Quarter-circle Tiles

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I have $99$ identical square tiles, each with a quarter-circle drawn on it like this: [asy] size(1.5cm); draw(Arc((2,0),1,90,180),red+1); draw((0,0)--(2,0)--(2,2)--(0,2)--(0,0)); [/asy] When I arrange the tiles in a $9times 11$ rectangular grid, each with a random orientation, what is the expected value of the number of full circles I form? I think this problem has to do with finding the chance any given 2x2 square has a circle, but I can't find it. expected-value share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 20 at 15:03 6minecraftninja 1 2

            build a pushdown automaton that recognizes the reverse language of a given pushdown automaton?

            Image
            0 I think it's similiar to NFAs. I replace the finite states of the given automaton for start-states for my new automaton. I do it with $epsilon$ -transition from the start state to the actual finite states of the given automaton. The start state of the given automaton will be my accepting(finite) state of my new one. All transitions will be reversed of course to recognize the reversed word. But how do I have to change the stack of the pushdown automaton? That's tricky. formal-languages automata context-free-grammar share | cite | improve this question edited Nov 29 '18 at 14:20 joee
