How do you indent a block of code? For example if you enclose a block of code in an if statement, and want to indent said block.

In the MATLAB editor, you should automatically get identation of an if statement.
Other than that, highlight the text and do Text -> Small Ident, or Text -> Increase Ident

Highlight the lines of text. Then hit tab to indent them a level to the right, and shift-tab to outdent them a level to the left.

or

I often just type control-a (to select all) and then control-i (to properly indent the entire file).
