i know with >> i can move a selection to the right by one indent, how can i move a selection just one space ?
Well, if you want to move by "one indent", you can
:set sw=1 ts=1 et
which will then make ">>" and "<<" indent by one space (not one
tab) or, you can
:set sw=1 ts=1 noet
and have it use tabs, but each tab displays as only a single space.
Or, you can use
:s/^/ /
That 2nd one is better used over a range.
A couple ideas to hopefully get you towards what you want.
