There is a "quote" formatting option within Gmail, but no "unquote" to undo the deeper quote level. How do I unquote text?
By clicking on the decrease indent icon.

Unfortunately this didn't work very well for me. I had a series of numbered lists with a line of text, line break (shift+enter), image, and another line break (shift+enter, for visual separation) under each number/bullet. When I clicked the decrease indent icon it wiped out all the text in the numbered lists so I just had multiple series of images without any explanatory text above each one. – rob Jan 27 '15 at 21:52

This doesn't work if the content being unquoted includes a list, indented block, sub-quote, etc. – tristan Jun 18 '18 at 23:11
Click on the A-underscore icon for the formatting buttons. The Google Support page lists the following:
Quote:
Crtl + Shift + 9
Mac: ⌘ + Shift + 9
Indent Less: (ALSO UNQUOTES!)
Crtl + [
Mac: ⌘ + [
Indent More:
Crtl + ]
Mac: ⌘ + ]
The shortcut keys also show when you hover over the icons.
If you use Chrome you can use the UnQuote for Gmail extension.

That extension is for removing the rest of the thread when replying to an email, not what was asked – Wolf Jun 30 '17 at 17:15
