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.
+1 for A) and B)
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.
C1) Insert spaces (say 4); we would have to use non-breaking spaces of course.
+0.5.
C2) Insert just one (breaking) space to discourage users from using the tab key to layout text.
-0.
C3) do nothing
+0.
C4) default browser behaviour -- move focus to next form field (which is happening now for all situations)
-1 since this is what we're trying to avoid.
C5) if the cursor is at the beginning of a paragraph it should indent the first line in the paragraph (the CSS way), but I am pretty sure that's too much trouble.
-0, this seems not noobproof enough to me. Thanks, JV.
