BlockUndent

Key: Ctrl+K Ctrl+U
Menu: Word > Indentation > Undent

Perform a BackSpace or BackTab (depending on the indent mode) on the first non-blank line of the block and carry that change throughout the remaining lines. A box block effectively treats the left edge as the beginning of the line; this function is not available for a stream block.

If there are lines in the block that begin before the first line, the initial characters will be deleted and the lines will be placed in the undo buffer (see RetrieveLine). Example:

       line1
     line2

Undenting these two lines would remove the two spaces from `line1', but also the first two characters of `line2':

     line1
     ne2
