For the purposes of this book, I’m using two-space indents for the selector and four-space
indents for the declarations. Indenting is used to provide clarity. In the real world (or your
favorite text editor, to be precise), many developers use one tab click to indent the selector, and two tab clicks to indent the declarations and closing curly brace. This might seem arbitrary, but such a layout makes regular searching for rules a whole lot easier. The eye can scan immediate left for comments, next right for the selectors, and farthest right for the rules.
Are these used as adverbs? Like, you scan how? You scan left.

It doesn't sound correct to me.
This works:
The problem is the use of "immediate", "next", and "farthest". If you really do need such modifiers, they should be adverb + prepositional phrase:
Another way is to treat "scan" as a transitive verb, and "left"/"right" as nouns indicating the areas being scanned, rather than indicating a relative direction.
