A tab is normally specified in a string using the escape sequence "\t", similarly to how you use "\n" to represent a newline.
BUT ... the tab key is used to move focus to the next control in the container, so the TextArea is not going to respond to it anyway, even if you add it to restrict. You will need to add a custom key handler and handle the insertion of tabs yourself.
