If you aren't using Sublime Text the shortcut may be different.

"Ctrl + ]" in Sublime Text works for me on windows.

You can also press "tab" to indent if you select either the start of one line or a block of text and "shift+tab" to remove indents.

Also make sure you have the cursor on the right line or the correct text selected before pressing either shortcut.

Are you talking about changes to how your code looks or how the website looks?

Adding indents to organise your code won't change what appears in the browser.

Spacing in an HTML file is irrelevant to the appearance of a page in a web browser. If you are making CSS declarations that aren't showing up, you probably have the CSS mis-linked.

Maybe check over that part of the video again as the shortcut mentioned is just for making your code easier to follow in a text editor not for adding any styling to the site.

See if Nick is changing/adding any code as well as indenting it.

My guess is you need to link the grid.css file. If your link isn't working it's probably because of your file path. Here's a tutorial on file paths that should get you going.

Let us know how you are getting along with this here in this thread.
