Can we have a simple indent symbol in the tool bar?

  The main thing I miss about the Classic Editor is the indent symbol or icon in the toolbar. I write a lot of book reviews and like to indent quotes from books to set them off from my main text. Sometimes I indent paragraphs for other purposes.

  In the past, I’ve switched to the Classic Editor for those paragraphs I wanted to indent, but wrote the rest of the post in the Block Editor. But now that the block inserter isn’t giving us an option for the Classic Editor any more, it’s harder to get to.

  I’ve tried the Quote block. It does indent text, but it makes the font in it smaller and italicized. I’ve gone into the code editor to remove the code that italicizes, but it still leaves the text italicized. Plus when I use a long quote, it doesn’t show up in the email version of my posts.

  I’ve tried the Poetry Block. It does indent and works for longer quotes. But it also puts the text in a slightly discolored box.

  Every word processor I have ever used has a simple indent symbol in the tool bar. Is this not possible in blogging? I want to send a plea to the powers that be to give us a simple way to indent a line or paragraph that doesn’t change the font or background.
