Here M-x indent-rigidly RET doesn't indent at all, but sends a message:

Indent region with <left>, <right>, S-<left>, or S-<right>.


That's not as simple as it could be.

Also, if once selected right, not being asked next time. How to indent 
left then?

Probably there is a docu...

However, IMO a command indenting left or right should not need much 
docu, it should just do it.

Thus indent-rigidly seems not first choice as a caller.
