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
