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
