[jira] Created: (PIVOT-696) TextArea support for entering tab
characters and tab stops
TextArea support for entering tab characters and tab stops
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: PIVOT-696
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-696

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.

Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-696:
--------------------------------------
I am going to make a small revision to TextArea to at least convert tabs to spaces in "setText" according to the current "tabWidth" style in the skin. This will involve adding "getTabWidth" to the TextArea.Skin interface, and putting a bit of code into "setText" to convert tabs to spaces according to this width.
I'm doing this from a user request with our application. And since Ctrl-Tab already does the same thing, it only seems reasonable to support this in "setText". Other places could use it also, but this seems the least impact and most useful.
But, of course, the full functionality could still be done in TextPane at some point.

Extended the support of converting tabs to appropriate number of spaces to "insertText" also (which means "paste" also works):

------------------------------------
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.

It's fine for light use - see the example code in
org.apache.pivot.demos.text.TextPaneDemo
but it depends on what you expect from a rich text editor. There is still lots off functionality that could be added.

Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-696:
--------------------------------------
I added a new property to TextArea called "expandTabs" which is set to false by default, and which controls whether this tab expansion happens during "setText" and "insertText". The default behavior (now) will be the same as it was in version 2.0.2, but by setting this property true the new behavior is enabled.
