All levels of Bulleted list should indent when you highlight all and tab.

26 votes

The bulleted list doesn't move that I would expect it to. When I highlight multiple levels and try to indent all of them an additional level. It's only the lowest level that indents. With the new nesting bullets feature. I find myself wanting to group a collection of notes under a new parent bullet often so I can collapse them. But I have to go by each bullet point to do this. See GIF.

Hey Ryan, thanks for submitting this!

If you double-click-select your bullets/tasks, pressing tab to indent multiple items works as expected. The same applies for selecting with the keyboard via "Shift-Arrows". We'll hopefully get to fix this soon, so that it's consistent across the various ways to select text.

I agree Ryan!

@Lucian you mention "pressing tab to indent multiple items works as expected" but I just tried it it does not. Am I missing something?

@Isaiah - there are multiple ways to select text, and currently only some of them result in proper indentation of selected items:
1. Selecting bullets by using Shift-Arrows
2. Selecting bullets by using double-click-mouse-dragging (as opposed to just dragging the mouse cursor to select)

Let me know if this makes sense.

@Lucian - shift-arrow/double click select only works on desktop, though - when I try to do the same on iPad hardware keyboard it doesn't work.
