Re-arrange lines when adding new if statement

[bghayad]

Hello;
As we know that spaces is important in the coding.
I am asking: when we need to add if statement or any control statement for existed code, that will require to do shifting for the ALL lines to be under this if statement (or for loop or any control statement), this is too much hard work and consuming time.
How to overcome this?
I am programming using vi editor in linux.

this is too much hard work and consuming time.

well, in any decent IDE indent/dedent is just
1. select block of code
2. hit Tab/Shift+Tab
away.
Or some other dedicated key combination.

I don't use vi/vim, but this should help https://stackoverflow.com/a/235841/4046632

In python-mode, vim is pretty friendly to auto-indent. https://wiki.python.org/moin/Vim
It should take almost no effort to indent your blocks.
