I am failing to Indent code all at once

I have just tried to follow instruction learnt on how to indent code all at once, I have highlighted the part I meant to indent and pressed CTRL + ) keys simultaneously but nothing happens. I am using a Lenovo edge laptop if that matters.

To indent code, you press TAB. Highlight all code and press TAB.

If you're using the workspace editor, the shortcut to indent is CTRL + ] (close bracket), not CTRL + ) (parenthesis).

You can also un‍indent using CTRL + [

You can also highlight the code and press Tab to move it to the right or Shift + Tab to move it to the left
