Re: Writing a function for a indented copy of a region

[Decebal]

I found a better way.

(defun my-indented-yank(indent)
  "Put indented region in the kill-ring"
  (interactive "p")
  (if mark-active
      (let (do-kill)
        (setq indent (cond ((eq indent 0) 1)
                           ((eq indent 1) 4)
                           (t indent)
                           )
              )
        (if (< indent 0)
            (setq indent  (- 0 indent)
                  do-kill t
                  )
          )
        (indent-rigidly (region-beginning) (region-end) indent)
        (if do-kill
            (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
          (copy-region-as-kill (region-beginning) (region-end))
          (undo)
          )
        )
    (message "my-indented-yank needs a region")
    )
  )
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-w") 'my-indented-yank)

Now a negative value will kill the region instead of yanking it and
when no region is selected an apriote message will be displayed.
I have also bind the funtion to a a key combination. Is my choice a
good one, or is there a better key combination?
