iOS Indent Is Tiresome to Get to

[Flowstyleliving 2]

On Android, it’s right on the bar above the keyboard, for iOS, I have to go into the little font setting...

I know it’s small, but as someone that uses lists often, it can get tedious...

What do others think? Should I request it as a feature to at least have the option?

 

Best,

Agreed. It is similarly difficult to get to on the Mac. In fact, there is no button anywhere. You have to use Shift+CMD+ALT+Hold-your-finger-to-your-nose+Turn-counter-clockwise-twice+[] keys or something like that.

I gave up even trying to find this hidden feature in iOS yesterday at a meeting and took notes in OneNote, which as the indent/outdent button right on the toolbar on my iPhone.

Could you post a video of yourself doing this ?

On Mac you can just use Tab and Shift-Tab to indent/un-indent. You can select multiple lines and bulk indent/un-indent as well.

You can start new bullet point lists by typing "*:space:". For numbered lists "1.:space:". I believe these works on iOS too (I think there is a setting to enable/disable them though).

I don't know of a way to easily indent/un-indent on iOS without an external keyboard though.

Wow, I'm seriously late to join the party. I finally get fed up so much that I thought I should look in the forum. It's great to see that I did not miss "the obvious" (which has happened before), and at least Flowstyleliving's mention of the font-settings gives a way to access it on iOS, too . But it's really frustrating to see how looooooooooong it takes to get a reasonable action. (I saw the posts mentioning indent vs. strikethrough and totally agree. Hey, it could made a configureable setting if EN do not want to pass off the fans of strikethrough ;-)
