Keyboard navigation inside the Notepad text editor
Open, HighPublic

Description

Tab is a conflicting keyboard shortcut in a text editor. It can either indent text or navigate to the next element.

From that I read online there is a few alternative solutions with no real consensus:

  • Don't let user enter tab with setTabChangesFocus(true) and instead rely of them to just using spaces which is a bit more inconvenient, but at least the navigation inside the app is consistent. This is out of question for code editor but for a plain text editor, it is probably not an issue.
