How do I unindent using IDLE (Python gui)
Try typing it like this. You'll notice the cursor moves to the start of the line after the pass
>>> if x == 0:
x = 0
print('Negative changed to zero')
pass
elif x == 0:
print('other stuff')
Ctrl+[ should do the trick for unindenting.
Conversely, you can indent with Ctrl+], but IDLE generally handles indenting much better than unindenting.
ctrl + [
in Windows
command + [
in Mac
Backspace works for me.
If you go to Options->Configure IDLE and click on the Keys tab, what options are selected? It might make a difference - I have IDLE Classic Windows.
