Better Tabbing

This would be a really uesful function:
When editing text, if you highlight 1 or more lines and then Press Tab, the selected lines should have a tab/2 spaces inserted at the start.
If Shift+Tab is pressed, while 1 or more lines are selected, a tab/2 spaces should be removed from the start of the line.
This will really help formatting large blocks of code after copy/pasting them about.
Thanks,

I second that. I use this feature in EditPlus, and it's extremely useful.
Another thought: The auto-indent feature should take into account open or close braces in the last line to adjust the amount of indent inserted in the new line. Auto-indenting is pretty neat that way.
It shouldn't be hard to implement: I think it's just about counting the number of open and close braces in the last line (the line you hit [Enter] from), and adding, um, (num_open - num_close) to the amount of indent.
