unindents

Shifts text left

Unindents is the third-person singular form of unindent, meaning to move text back toward the left margin, reversing an indentation.

The term belongs to word processing and coding, where indentation organizes content hierarchically: When you close a code block, the editor automatically unindents the next line.
