Use the > command. To indent 5 lines, 5>>. To mark a block of lines and indent it, Vjj> to indent 3 lines (vim only). To indent a curly-braces block, put your cursor on one of the curly braces and use >%.

If you’re copying blocks of text around and need to align the indent of a block in its new location, use ]p instead of just p. This aligns the pasted block with the surrounding text.

Also, the shiftwidth setting allows you to control how many spaces to indent.

Indent line by shiftwidth spaces << De-indent line by shiftwidth spaces 5>> Indent 5 lines 5== Re-indent 5 lines

var a = b; var asdf = j;

Vim Syntax Highlighting

Add this to ~/.vimrc:

set term=ansi
syntax on
set number
foldmethod=syntax

Also make sure that "Display ANSI colors" is enabled in the Terminal Settings.

To use the variable in this expression, you need to use the execute command:

execute ':set gfn=Monaco:h' . a:n

You have to use gvim (MacVim), a separate app, to control font faces and sizes.
