Can't enter a tab

[aaronjorbin]

Everytime I use the tab key, it takes me to a new block. I expect the tab key to insert a tab charachter while I am typing.

Just note that such behaviour could quickly result in a keyboard trap for users, where you can't use tab for navigation anymore.

Probably one of the reasons it's not implemented in the current WordPress editor.

@aaronjorbin I;d be in favor of closing this issue, as the native behavior when pressing the Tab key is navigating through focusable elements. Even in TinyMCE, pressing Tab doesn't insert a tab character. Only in ordered/unordered lists it's used to indent the list items.

Given that there are accessibility concerns with this particular approach, and the discussion is likely to resurface for the code editor, I'm going to close this one for now. I would suggest that it is fine to open for discussion on a per-block basis.
