I am not sure we are talking about the same thing. I have the option set 
to never (default?).

The feature I mentioned works like this:

1. Select a few lines of text.
2. Press tab key.
3. The lines with selected text all shift to the right.
4. Press shift-tab key.
5. The lines now all shift to the left.

It's not auto-indent. Sort of more like multi-line manual indent.

And what I want is to change the keys associated with the function. Like 
instead of shift-tab, use command-[ (control-[ on Windows) to indent 
selected lines to left.

Thanks.
