PyCharm hotkey to indent/un-indent a line at caret?

Question

Currently we can move a line up/down by alt+shift+UP and alt+shift+DOWN

Though, when we have moved the line to target position and want to indent it, we have to go to the beginning of the line to tab/shift-tab.

I wonder if we can do that right away at caret position i.e. without having to move to the begin of line.

p.s.

My google results as this page put ctrl+alt+I not work for me.

@ChandanNayak What is your point about vscode, I don't get it? – Squab

I wanted to say - on vs code I do not have to select any character by just placing the cursor anywhere on the line and hit cmd + }/{ to do the indent. But with pycharm i needed to select a word/character to do the indent. Because it just tabs outward from the cursor with pycharm. – Konikow

Got it. Thanks for sharing. But working with Python the opensource way, vscode from microsoft should not be the IDE for us I think. – Squab

there is a keymap named "indent Line or Selection",it dont need to select any text @ChandanNayak – Subserve

By default, the tab key execute action "indent Selection",so you must select some text. there is a keymap named "indent Line or Selection", you can use tab as its shortcut.then you dont need to select text (my pycharm version:2020.1.3)
