A lot of the time, when I want to format text within a web page's text box I'll hit the Tab key.
Unfortunately, that doesn't insert the tab character but instead moves the control to the next form element (like a button or a check box).
For browsers like Firefox/IE, is there a way to get the formatting behavior of a tab, within a text box, by typing a key combination?
It's not compatible with Firefox anymore. – rory.ap – 2018-11-05T15:02:10.277
This is a plugin that works in Firefox 64: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/textarea-tabbing/
