On the several keyboards I have at hand tab is modal, right or left depending upon the current shift-key setting. The modal marking appears to be
| tab | | <—— | | ——> | in which the 'arrowheads' are solid, not open. I should think that '>|' would be adequately perspicuous. The notorious ambiguity of tabs remains. Their effects depend upon local tab settings, and many implementations disambiguate them by replacing them with blanks of currently equivalent effect in saved/stored files.
