Why are you going to a line number?  Are you looking at error
messages?  If so, run that same command under M-x compile CR, and the
line numbers are automatically located for you!  See "running compilations
under emacs" in the info file for details.

But when I do something outside that, I have just learned to type M-x
got TAB CR to get to "goto-line" quickly.

Set the region around the whole thing, then M-x indent-region CR.  Usually
works.
