           Summary: QT Editor - tab key should enter a tab
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: CVS
          Platform: RedHat RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-devel at kdevelop.org
        ReportedBy: jonsmirl at yahoo.com


Version:           CVS (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

Typing the TAB key is not entering a tab into the text with the QTEditor. By default TAB is set to the editor INDENT function.

I think TAB should default to entering a tab character and let the user changing it if they want. I turned off the assignment of TAB to INDENT and TAB still didn't add tabs to my file. Using Ctrl-I does add a tab char.

Actual tab chars are required when editing Makefiles and some other config files.
