Adding to Zenzen's answer, you can do for example Esc+5+<< to have 5 lines below the cursor shifted to the left by a tab space.

The following key maps your indentions in a Vim way (using alt + j and k keys) and formats the moved lines as according to their new position. Code stolen from http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Moving_lines_up_or_down. 

nnoremap <A-j> :m+<CR>==
nnoremap <A-k> :m-2<CR>==
inoremap <A-j> <Esc>:m+<CR>==gi
inoremap <A-k> <Esc>:m-2<CR>==gi
vnoremap <A-j> :m'>+<CR>gv=gv
vnoremap <A-k> :m-2<CR>gv=gv

Well I do not have NetBeans but I guess (after googling) that by ctrl+right/left you mean to indent the selected block?

In that case you can use the >> and << commands. Just either go the line you want to indent or select a block (using "v") and press > twice (remember about the shift key :)).

The others (move up/down) are clearly described here.

Hope that's what you're looking for!
