title: How to indent a block of Python code in Notepad++?
body: <p>While coding in <code>Matlab</code>, I had the option of smart indenting my code using the shortcut  <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>i</kbd>. Is there a similar option for <code>Python</code> using <code>Notepad++</code>?</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, I am looking for a solution to the following problem:<br>
  I want the block</p>
  
  <pre><code>line 1
  line 2
  line 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to be converted to</p>
  
  <pre><code>    line 1
      line 2
      line 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On a side-note, I found this to be surprisingly easy with SE editor (keyboard shortcut: <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>k</kbd>). I want this feature to be available for other languages as well (in my experience good indentation hasn't killed anyone, regardless of the language).</p>
