There has got to be a better way to indent a block of code

  • 0

There has got to be a better way to indent a block of code for stackoverflow posts using Emacs. My current strategy is to:

  1. Select a text region
  2. execute M-x indent-code-rigidly
  3. run C-x z three times to reindent the region

This seems brain-dead. Please enlighten me as to how to make this happen in a clever and elegant manner.

    This isn’t materially different from scottfrazer’s answer, but it’s a tad easier to type: C-u C-x C-i
