How to use Tab key to indent within a textfield (instead of jumping to next element)?

  • For Firefox, the Tabinta addon works well. You can change Tab to insert a tab, and even set an alternate key that advances to the next field (the default behavior of Tab).
  • For any Windows program, you can press Alt+09 (press and hold Alt, press and release numpad 0, press and release numpad 9, release Alt) to insert a tab. You can then copy and paste that resulting tab to your heart's content.
  • For any Mac program, you can press ControlOptionTab to insert a tab. Copy and paste it as needed.
