In textmate, how do I reverse indent a block of selected code?

Question

I have a block of code selected, I want to un-indent this selected code.

On a pc, I would do a shift-tab and it would un-indent.

This isn't really a Python question. It's really just Textmate. — S.Lott, Sep 13 '10 at 03:28
But if he weren't using python, the indentation probably wouldn't matter. ;-) — tfe, Sep 13 '10 at 05:11
To enable Shift+Tab in textmate, see my answer on the possible dupe of this question; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2944400/textmate-tab-and-de-tab-selected-block/38134707#38134707 — Graham P Heath, Jun 30 '16 at 23:14

Option+Shift+Tab (or Cmd+]).

Omitting shift (or changing ] to [) will indent instead of reverse-indent.

I think you meant Cmd+[ instead of Cmd+} as an alternative to un-indent the selected code. – Matthew Rankin Sep 13 '10 at 03:03
Yeah, was just looking at the keys and brainfarted. :P Technically the same keys, but shift isn't involved for those. :) – Amber Sep 13 '10 at 03:05
Huh, didn't know about the `` tag... neat. ^_^ – Mike DeSimone Sep 13 '10 at 03:46

The following is from TextMate Power Editing for the Mac by James Edward Gray II.

⌘+[ or ⌥+⇧+⇥

Decrease selection indent (works on current line when nothing is selected)

⌘+] or ⌥+⇥

Increase selection indent (works on current line when nothing is selected)

⌥+⌘+[

Reindent selection based on current language grammar rules (works on current line when nothing is selected)
