how do you move to a new line in your text editor?

One thing I like to do is use tabs for my indentation, because this makes it easy to outdent when I need to start a new line in column 1. I can press backspace once and move 4 spaces to the left. But I read in the PEP that spaces are recommended over...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
