Highlight and press tab. Do shift+tab to go the other way.

By default, block indentation is done using Shift+Ctrl+I and Shift+Ctrl+U (indent, unindent). All of the editor keystrokes can be user-customized via the Preferences dialog on the Options tab using the Edit Keystrokes button. The editor command for block indent is ecBlockIndent. The editor command for match bracket is ecMatchBracket (Shift+Ctrl+B).

Thank you John and Matt, will try these out at home tonight.

Are these shortcuts and editor commands documented anywhere? I thought I had had a reasonable scan of the Bricx documentation but couldn't find it (chances are I was looking in the wrong place).

Not all the editor commands/keystrokes are documented but if you press F1 on the Editor tab of the Preferences dialog you will get a help page which includes text that says:

For block indenting and unindenting you can turn on or off the option of using the tab or shift-tab key in addition to Ctrl+Shift+I and Ctrl+Shift+U.

That all worked a treat thank you, it has been a very educational day.

Apologies for polluting the wishlist topic with features that already exist.

Here's something:
A way to debug a program, where a segment of code is running and you can click a button on the computer to go to the next statement, like in Eclipse.

I'd like a redesign of the NXT Screen tool.

I want it to be not much bigger (on my monitor) than the display area, and I want to be able to have it "inside" the BCC editor window (like you can optionally do with the templates). I would also like an option to automatically poll at 50ms refresh rate (not manually have to do cont+P and cont+1) if the NXT is connected using USB.

In addition, it would be nice if the video record worked at any scale (not just >EDIT: 4x<), although I admit, I don't use this feature enough to make it worth your time just for me.

+1 for the display size
- or - a *little* bigger also for displaying the 4 virtual buttons then working by mouse clicks as if pushed physically at the real NXT.
