Hi all.
I've noticed this weird behavior of python-indent-shift-right.
Let's say I have a block of code. The "|" character represents my cursor
In a python file, I write
if True:
|
(... file contents continue)
and then call python-indent-shift-right on an empty line. It does nothing. If the second line has any amount of spaces, the whitespace is entirely deleted.
Given that Python's whitespace is syntactically significant, the expected behavior should be to add an indent to an empty line, or to prepend 4 characters (or 8, given user choice) to the empty line if it has whitespace. From a cursory glance, I think we're running into some behavior of indent-rigidly that tries to prevent the addition of superfluous white space following an indented block of code. I assume this would be potentially desirable for languages with non-significant whitespace, but in the case of the python-specific function, the resulting behavior defies both the function name and description.
