Comments field vs moving focus: tab vs ctrl+tab
Hi,
Every JMeter component has Name and Comments.
"Comments" is a multi-line field (which is nice for writing comments), but
it does not play well with moving focus via tab and shift+tab.
If you hit `tab` inside Comments field, then you just add a tab character
(like an indentation).
Of course, there's a way to move focus, and it is ctrl+tab and
ctrl+shift+tab, however, it looks weird for me.
Does that make sense?
Frankly speaking, I think using tabs for indentation inside Comments field
is an edge case, so I would suggest we re-configure `tab` meaning for
Comments field.
Any thoughts?
Vladimir

Hi
Like Brian I think we don't do it for code editors.

I would think in any code editors a person would expect the tab button to
put a tab in the code.

Ok, great.
Now's a more tricky question: should we patch all the multiline fields or
should we do it case by case?
For instance: how about JSR223 code editors?
