All exta key handling methodes

autoindent The auto indent will take the spaces and tabs on the current line and insert them in the next line. Usually used in cunjunction with key_enter and key_return.
insertindentation This will insert spaces instead of tabs if tabisspace is set. It will also work as insert all selected text, when text is selected. It will use spaces if tabisspace is set and tab if not.
removeindentation This will act on a block to remove indent. If the tabisspace is set, the remove spaces will act on the number of spaces as if it was a tab. If no block selected, it will act on the current line.

These can be added to pre and post keymaos by using @me tag in front.
