Re: [xwiki-users] tab characters in editor
I've created an issue so that this discussion doesn't disappear in the deep of this mailing list :) http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-2903 Note that a little POC patch for the wiki editor would be very welcome. I'd love to be able to indent my velocity code with the tab key (a 2 spaces setting for me please). JV.

If space, how many? * what if the JavaScript is disabled? Regards, Marius It could be an option setting for the wiki: 1. Default (focus change) 2. Insert Tab 3. Insert Space I think if Javascript is disabled then they just get the default behavior. (wouldn't other things not work in that case as well? ) My company is pretty picky about editors (we include FCKeditor in our product and there are a lot of enhancement requests for that) so I am getting quite a few requests for enhancements on the wiki including this one. The other big one is a request for double click to edit. So I don't know if I just have picky customers or not, but personally I would really like to have tabs since they make code easier to write in the pages.

Re: [xwiki-users] tab characters in editor
1. No. 2. No way it should be a different character. 3. Maybe it could be configurable. So if a user wants such functionality, he will be informed about JavaScript. Besides that, from W3C statistics, 95% users have JavaScript enabled. Anyway, if the user has it disabled, he will get his default tab action :) Quoting Marius Dumitru Florea : Thomas Mortagne wrote: Hi, On Tue, Nov 4, 2008 at 7:33 PM, Regan Gill wrote: Hi, I have set up xwiki for my company's wiki.
