    In the Text menu there is a Shift Left and Shift Right action bound
    to ⌘[ and ⌘]. These will increase and decrease the indent by one
    tab size.

    On many european key layouts these keys are rather awkward, so in
    addition to these, you can also use ⌥⇥ and ⌥⇤ (where ⇤ is
    achieved using ⇧⇥).

I have heard this from either Swedish or German users. It works on  
the Danish keymap, but not on either the Swedish or German -- likely  
because some global system command is bound to the key (grab screen  
or so).

Personally I use the US keymap (even though I do write in Danish),  
because most european keymaps are simply not made for programmers.

You can go to System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse and add an  
application specific setting which change the key equivalent of the  
service.

Services normally have lowest priority with respect to resolving keys.
