Visual selection is you're friend here.. I have learnt about it only in the past year and it's realy great... 1. stand on the beginning of the block you want to ident. 2. go to esc mode 3. press v letting you visually select. 4. either click downwards towards the end of the block or if it's between two empty lines you can shift - ] to jump to the end of the block. 5. Once you have the block selected shift > or shift < as mentioned by shlomi.
This method was shown to me by kfir which laughed his ass off when he saw me do a %s/^/\t/ on a selection till then.. Lior.
