Thanks for the reply! _Not_ valid for "jmacs".
However, I found the answer, for anyone interested.
Emacs (and jmacs seems to follow it closely) has the notion of
"command repeat" using ^U <some_integer>, e.g. ^U 4 or ^U -4, which
means "repeat the next command 4 times forwards, or 4 times backward
respectively.
The "Jmacs" indent command is: ^X^I which indents exactly 1 space.
Chaining the 2 commands together like:
^U 4 ^X^I => indents 4 spaces
^U -4 ^X^I => unindents 4 spaces
