What I would like this function to do is take the part that is
selected, indent this with (default) four spaces, put the
indented region in the kill-ring and undo the indent. Has anyone
a pointer about how to code this?
Why don't you use a keyboard macro?
First, select the text to indent and kill; Then `C-x (' to start
defining a keyboard macro, `M-x replace-regexp' the beginning of
line (that is "^") with four spaces, etc. Then `C-x )' to finish
the macro definition.
Then to call the macro you just `C-x e'. Read the manual to learn how
to give it a name, save it to file, etc.
