Re: [xwiki-devs] [VOTE] Tab key behavior in the new WYSIWYG editor

Hi devs, We have to decide upon the proper behavior of the Tab key in the new WYSIWYG editor. Open Office has the following behavior: A) If the caret is inside a table cell then jump to the next one (or previous one with Shift). B) If the caret is at the beginning of a list item then indent that item (or outdent with Shift). By indent I mean make it a subitem of the previous list item. C) Otherwise insert a Tab. The Tab doesn't always have the same width; it depends on the top ruler and on the caret position. Shift+Tab is ignored. I'm +1 for A) and B)

Regarding C), it's difficult to have the same behavior. What we can do is: C1) Insert spaces (say 4); we would have to use non-breaking spaces of course. C2) Insert just one (breaking) space to discourage users from using the tab key to layout text.

I'm +0 for C1) and +0.5 for C2). I need your vote asap. Thanks, Marius
