5,840 PointsHow did you tab the closing bracket and semi colon forward with the cursor in front of them? 2:19
Can this be done in sublime or any other text editor?

Check your editor documentation for how to do it.

5,840 PointsWell then what do you mean by performs indentation? Because my question was how did he move the closing bracket and semi colon forward with the cursor being all the way at the end of the line? (see 2:19) Normally if i would want to move a line forward one tab i would put my cursor in front of the line (all the way to the left) and press tab. But here it's done with the cursor being all the way at the end, it would save me time if i didn't have to move my cursor all the way left.
I'm a shortcut freak btw.

243,228 PointsBy "performs indentation" I mean "moves the line over". The "ctrl-]" trick moves the entire line over no mattter where the cursor is on the line.

243,228 PointsI'm not sure what you mean by "fixes". But the indentation shortcut moves the currently selected line(s) over one stop each time you do it.
