Indentation shortcuts in Visual Studio

I'm new to Visual Studio 2010 and C#. How can I indent the selected text to left/right by using shortcuts?

In the Delphi IDE the equivalents are Ctrl+Shift+I and Ctrl+Shift+U

Solution 1:

Tab and Shift+Tab will do that.

Another cool trick is holding down ALT when you select text, it will allow you to make a square selection. Starting with VS2010, you can start typing and it will replace the contents of your square selection with what you type. Absolutely awesome for changing a bunch of lines at once.

Solution 2:

Ctrl-K, Ctrl-D

Will just prettify the entire document. Saves a lot of messing about, compared to delphi.

Make sure to remove all indents by first selecting everything with Ctrl+A then press Shift+Tab repeatedly until everything is aligned to the left. After you do that Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D will work the way you want them to.

You could also do the same but only to a selection of code by highlighting the block of code you want to realign, aligning it to the left side (Shift+Tab) and then after making sure you've selected the code you want to realign press Ctrl+K, Ctrl+F or just right click the highlighted code and select "Format Selection".

Solution 3:

If you would like nicely auto-formatted code. Try CTRL + A + K + F. While holding down CTRL hit a, then k, then f.
