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.
