TAB

Action

The Tab Forward command functions in both Edit Mode and Input Mode but performs slightly different functions in each.

• In Edit Mode, pressing TAB moves the cursor to the next non-alphabetic, non-numeric character.
• In Input Mode, pressing TAB moves the cursor to the next tab position. Tab positions are three spaces apart by default. The width of tab settings can be altered in Input Mode using the Tab Size command (CTRL+T).
