To make 2 spaces in front of multiple lines, we simply highlight them and press tab, but what about the reverse? I remove a begin so standard wise everything below it should no longer have that 2 extra space, so how do i instantly remove the space without doing it line by line?
i.e.
procedure Abc;
begin
{if Cond1 then
begin //these 2 lines get removed}
Action1;
Action2;
Action3; //extra 2 spaces for all these Actions, how to remove them?
Action
...
...
//end;
end;

I got asked this question just last week and shat my pants when I figured it out!
Look down at the keys you press to do it, and what's on them on your keyboard.
It's very intuitive!

SHIFT + TAB is the answer!

I said the same thing to myself!
Just found out last week... would have saved A LOT of time!
I just looked down at tab, tried it, and got mad :p

That's great! So much time will be saved now, yet it's suprisingly obvious

I only found out 1 week ago. It's tricky, but extremely useful.
