How to indent multiple lines by single characters in Geany?

Basically I'm looking for what is analogous to selecting a block of text or lines and hitting tab; but instead of tab doing so with the space-bar.
Is there an easy shortcut for it? Can't find anything anywhere. When I select a block of text, and hit the space-bar it replaces the lot with a single space!

As @DK Bose said in his comment above...
- Position the cursor directly in front of the first line which you
are wanting to indent by 1 or more single character spaces. - Press Alt+Shift and (in my case) press the down arrow to grow the
cursor to how ever many lines you want (removing line wrapping
helps!). Basically you'll end up with a very long vertical cursor
blinking. - Press space! It will now move multiple lines at the same time by a
single character spacing.
