3,080 PointsUnable to indent ? Im using a keyboard without direct square brackets, how should I indent?
To use square brackets I need to hit alt+8 or 9; when I try to indent lines of code they just don't move. because I am hitting cmd+8 or 9 (meaning I am hitting cmd+( or )). Any hints in how dumb I am being? Thanks

Is there a particular editor this is an issue with?
