Dreamweaver 2017 changed some keyboard shortcuts (deleting tabs for multiple lines at once)

Hello,

When I code php or html pages I use the 'tab' key to 'layout' my coding.
Now, sometimes I have multiple lines where I want to add or delete a tab.
Adding the tab for more then 1 line at once works fine (just select lines and click TAB), but deleting them does not work anymore in the new version.

On the previous version I think I used 'CMD + SHIFT (or CTRL) + TAB' to delete a tab (or better said, go back one tab) for multiple lines.

I'm not able to make it work.  I also had a look in the shortcut list but couldn't find anything.


Do you have any solution to this?

Have a look at How to use keyboard shortcuts where you will see

Indent Code: Cmd + Shift + >, Ctrl + Shift + >

Outdent Code: Cmd + Shift + <, Ctrl + Shift + <

Personally, I use Tab to indent and Shift + Tab to outdent

Also be warned that Emmet uses the Tab to create code. See Faster Coding with Emmet in Dreamweaver CC | Creative Cloud blog by Adobe

I already saw this in my shortcut preferences but it doesn't work for me.

But your solution 'SHIFT + TAB' works. (strange why the CMD+SHIFT+< does not work)
