RE: how to indent a region multiple times in python-mode

["Olesen, Mark" <Mark.Olesen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Servus Joachim,

For this sort of thing, I use a rectangle string insertion.
Mark the begin/end of a region and then insert the desired string via the
mini-buffer.

With a small amount of work, it could be trimmed to python semantics.
BTW: I've been dragging this code snippet about for several years, it could
possibly profit from more recent changes to jed/slang.
It seems so incredibly useful, I wouldn't be surprised if the feature
already exists somewhere in jed.

    variable col, str, n, nlines;
    variable start;
    check_region (0);

    % find the correct starting column
    col = what_column ();
    nlines = what_line ();
    exchange_point_and_mark ();
    n = what_column ();
    start = what_line ();
    if (n < col) col = n;
    nlines++;
    nlines -= start;
    
    % what string should be inserted?
    str = read_mini ("Rect String Insert:", "", "");
    n = strlen (str);
    !if (n) return;

    loop (nlines) {
	goto_column (col);
	insert (str);
	go_down_1();
    }
    % re-mark the region
    goto_line (start);
    goto_column (col);
}
