+0. If users want to indent, they will be able to do that with spaces
(since now spaces are meaningful). Not doing this will not convince
users not to indent paragraphs; they will continue to do this using
spaces, but they will have one more grudge against XWiki. I implied that
the spaces are inserted at the cursor position, and not at the start of
the paragraph.
Yes, spaces would be inserted at the caret position.

OTOH, not doing this means that there's no
way to navigate out of the
editor without the use of the mouse. And I strongly disagree with this.
I don't like taking my hands off the keyboard. When I find something
that doesn't work without the mouse in a site, the
accessibility/usability pseudo-expert in me wakes up and gets very
angry. VERY angry.
And you propose?
Go with spaces, since the tab key is important for users, and normal
users aren't that bound to the keyboard as I am. We could try to use
Ctrl+Tab to go to the next field, although it is used by browsers to
switch tabs (or the OS to switch desktops).
