Lawrence’s initial method works generally, but only in certain modes. For example, it works in python-mode but not text-mode. So the trick is to change your buffer to python-mode, do the indent using C-c + >, and then switch back to the original mode.

FYI: The opposite of “indent” is “outdent,” not “dedent.”
