when the cursor is on the paragraph then use commands
">ip" or "<ip" to shift it right/left, respectively.

yes, in visual mode simply type '<' or '>'
for shifting left or right accordingly.

a shift is done according to the current
value of the option "shiftwidth" ("sw").

so for a shift by only *one* spaces
requires the value to be set to '1':

:set sw=1

easy. :)
