so instead of going i to go to insert mode then moving left or right or up and down
a to insert after your cursor
I to insert at beginning of line
A to insert at end of line
o to insert a new line after your current line
O to insert a new line above your current line

:retab
To shift left one line: <<
To shift right one line `>>
use the number you want to indent as a prefix to the visual block command
V to start visual block
select the lines
then 3>
12j for example will go 12 lines down
YOu can motion suffix a bunch of commands
like d$ to delete to end of line
so vib reads "visual mode select inner block of ( )"
that will show you what the block operation would be
then you can do shit like
dib to delete inner block
cib to change inner block (delete, go to start, enter insert mode)
cib is one of my most used commands.
Then there is B for "block of { }"
Also if you want to not think about indentation anymore and just go "Vim take the wheel"
select the visual block
then =
% shows block brackets and so, =% will appropriately indent the entire block
