it seems that multiple line select and [TAB] no longer works on the complete selection

it now only works at the cursor and no longer on the complete selection

bug or setting?

it works if you turn Smart Tab option on.

Thnx i say, a bit ashamed

It used to work fine in 5.1 with Smart Tab disabled I do not like using Smart Tab because it does not indent the way I want it to. Please consider making the block indent with Tab (or Ctrl+I or any other shortcut) work irrespective the Smart Tab setting -- a user should be able to block indent and outdent at any time.

PS: The changelog for build 5210 mentions this, but not in a way that I can understand what you intended to fix or improve. This is not a well constructed sentence. Dmitri, could you please clarify what is meant by the following:

See Indent/Unindent Block commands, feel free to change shortcut for them. By default they are bound to Ctrl+K,I, Ctrl+K,O

Maybe I was not clear in my explanation. I am referring to using Tab and Ctrl+I for indent, and Shift+Tab for outdent. Previously these worked fine on when I had a few lines selected. Now it does not work any more when the Smart Tabs setting is disabled -- instead of indenting or outdenting the selected lines, it works on the next line (after the selection) With Smart Tabs enabled, it works as it should. I feel its should work regardless the Smart Tab setting.

Seems you just did not try. Otherwise you'd noted that the shortcuts I mentioned (namely Ctrl+K, I and Ctrl+K, O) are working fine and they work regardless if Smart Tabs option.

Sorry Dmitri, I was editing my previous post to make my explanation more clear. And at the same time you were posting a response too My comment is about using Tab, Ctrl+I and Shift+Tab, not the Ctrl+K commands.

why not to bind Tab and Ctrl-I to those commands instead of what they are bound to now?

That did not occur to me! I have tried it and it works fine. Thank you

I still think making the behaviour of the Indent and Outdent settings (under Editing commands) depended on Smart Tabs is a bad idea

If I set Tab to indent block, I can't use tab within a line, like to space parameters, as it indents the entire line.

I agree with anno, I don't know why you 'fixed' this.

The problem appears fixed in build 5213. Thank you very much NuSphere!
