I want to move all the lines at once 2 spaces to the right, a kind of new alignment to the right, but not as much alignment as when I press the tab key.

So, I have this in notepad++

useEffect(() => {
// Simulate authentication verification
const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
if (token) {
setUser({
id: 1,
name: 'Rody Nam',
email: 'yes@tipbsrssl.com',
role: 'admin',
company_name: 'DAYU'
});
setIsAuthenticated(true);
}
setLoading(false);
}, []);

I want to move all lines at once 2 spaces to the right, a kind of new right alignment, but not as big an alignment as when I press the tab key

I selected Press Alt + Left mouse click and drag down , then I put Shift + Right Arrow to highlight the beginning of all lines with a large (thin) base from top to bottom. If I then press Shift+Tab, it moves all lines one space to the left. But what if I want to move all the spaces to the right?

But what if I want to move all spaces to the right, only 2 spaces?

of course, I can make regex:

FIND: ^
Replace by: \x20\x20

OR

FIND: ^
Replace by: (Leave 2 empty spaces)

But I want to use columb editor. Alt+Click Selector, then Shift+Space

But doesn’t work.

To expand on the explanation, for a small number of lines, put the caret in column 1 of line 1. Press Shift+Alt+DownArrow multiple times, enough so that a “skinny but tall caret” appears before the column 1 data in all lines, to wit:

Then press Space two times, to obtain:
