In Visual Studio, you can marquee select some text and use Tab/Shift-Tab to indent/outdent within the selection.

But, I'm not sure if it makes sense with multiple-selection, so we should see how other editors handle this. The marquee selection case can be handled by using multiple-cursors, so this is not critical.

@redmunds We might consider a preference for this since not everyone may want this. Low priority.

Closing per discussion with@redmunds - it's not obvious that our current behavior is wrong and there are other ways to accomplish the same thing (drag-select a cursor instead of a rectangle, hit left arrow first to collapse the selection before hitting tab, etc.). Could revisit in future if other users feel the same way.

I think this is related to #7416, so maybe a single preference to control both.

UPDATE: maybe not :) See this comment.
