Noel Grandin commented on PIVOT-696: ------------------------------------ I don't think this feature belongs in TextArea. TextArea is highly optimised for a very simple use-case. TextPane is where all of the fancy features belong. As a first step towards this, I have implemented support for CTRL-TAB in TextPane. > TextArea support for entering tab characters and tab stops > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIVOT-696 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-696 > Project: Pivot > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 2.0 > Reporter: Taro App > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.1 > > > Currently, if you press Ctrl+Tab in a TextArea, series of space characters > entered. (The number of space characters can be specified with tabWidth > property.) Text containing tabs can be set by TextArea.setText, but then tab > characters are not displayed. It is desirable that TextArea supports tab > stops so users can enter and see tab characters. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
