vim smartly

#Indent: with using '>' instead of tab key. To indent(add tab) 5 lines place cursor at start of line and use 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.

#Find Replace : In command mode use :s/TOFIND/TOREPLACE/g to find replace in current line, %s instead of s for all lines. use c with /g for confirmation before each replacement. Use line numbers (e.g- :5,10s/find/replace/g) will work only on line numbers from 5 to 10. Source: vim.wikia.com

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