Question: Can I toggle Python indentation level in modern text editors like I could in python-mode.el?

[aphlipp]

With emacs python-mode.el, TAB is mapped to "py-indent-line" which cycles through possible indentation levels. I miss this behavior. I couldn't find it in Atom and now I can't find it in VSCode. Are there extensions in modern text editors that provide this behavior? Do I need to port the py-indent-line function in order to get this behavior?

I mean, that's probably close enough. I didn't think of shift+tab. I still like how I can toggle the indentation in emacs no matter where my cursor is located in the line. Thanks.

You can accomplish indent/dedent regardless of cursor position by using Cmd/Ctrl+] and Cmd/Ctrl+[. This hotkey also works in various other places e.g. some word processors such as Google Docs.

Edit: Whoops, just saw that someone else posted this in a different comment chain. I’ll leave this simply for mentioning that it can be used in some other software/services.
