That will vary with your major mode. In the python mode, (which is what I think you want based on the 4 spaces thing and seeing you around on the python tag) use Ctrl–c < and Ctrl–c >
In the C major mode, just press tab and it will indent according to the rules specified in the major mode.
Also note, that directly above the mini-buffer, you will see the name of the major mode, which is normally the name of the language that you are working with. If you left click on that, you will see a list of commonly used commands and their key bindings.
