Be in visual mode (v).
Use the > command. To indent five lines, 5>>. 
To mark a block of lines and indent it, Vjj> to indent three lines (Vim only). 
To indent a curly-braces block, put your cursor 
on one of the curly braces and use >% or from 
anywhere inside block use >iB.

If you’re copying blocks of text around and need to 
align the indent of a block in its new location, use 
]p instead of just p. This aligns the pasted block with
the surrounding text.

vim indenting

Comment

:set tabstop=8     - tabs are at proper location
 :set expandtab     - don't use actual tab character (ctrl-v)
 :set shiftwidth=4  - indenting is 4 spaces
 :set autoindent    - turns it on
 :set smartindent   - does the right thing (mostly) in programs
 :set cindent       - stricter rules for C programs
