Tab key

60 votes

I think an optional Tab key will be helpful if you're typing and you need an indent, or when you want to space out text evenly.

I agree, a tab key would be my highestmpriority, far more important then the achievements icon at the upper left corner.

It's also very useful navigating fields in web forms.

Found a workaround for that. You first need the actual tab character, which you can get for example from the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard, which supports it. Then you can add that character to Text Replacements. I have set it to "…t", where "…" is a single symbol and is added to "Customize "." key". You can also do this with more characters, like the null width character for sending empty messages in messaging apps. Hope this helps!
