Do you sure you select several lines?
Ok, I see that SHIFT+TAB works as expected if multiple lines are selected. How I would like TAB and SHIFT+TAB to work is the following:
1) Nothing selected: TAB to go forward and SHIFT+TAB to go back (delete tabulation). E.g. the user scenario is I changed my mind about this paragraph needing to be indented and switching to using DEL or BACKSPACE breaks the flow.
2) Something is selected in a single line:
TAB: instead of deleting selection, the selection is tabbed, same as in multiline TAB (if I want to delete selection, I have DEL and BACKSPACE).
SHIFT+TAB: instead of deleting selection, works the same as multiline SHIFT+TAB.
3) Column selection in multiple lines:
TAB: same as current operation
SHIFT+TAB: similar to current operation, but can also splice selection before non-selected characters.
I realize that 2 and 3 are not trivial to implement, but 1 is must have for me. If number 1 can't be done easily without additional coding, then fair enough.
