Is there a way to indicate a tab in the opposite direction? [closed]

Question

Ok, the question might sound weird at first, but is there a shortcut to indicate a tab in the opposite direction? Shortcut would mean something like:

\t

Answer 1

If you mean the opposite of pressing the tab key in an editor, then you're looking for shift-tab.

Answer 2

No, there isn't such a thing.

\t corresponds to ASCII 9 (horizontal tab). There isn't a "reverse horizontal tab" in ASCII. The closest is a series of ASCII 8 characters (backspace).
