Mark the block as you would mark regularly. Then to 10 spaces you can do this: C-u 1 0 C-x TAB To figure out the number of spaces to add, you mentally the subtract the current column with the target column. Turn on M-x column-number-mode if you need to to figure out what column you are on. or Refer the last paragraph in: (info "(emacs) Indentation Commands") or Launch the info manual with: C-h r Visit the needed index entry with: i indent-rigidly --
