Capturing TAB-key in RichTextArea

[Marcus Franzen]

Hi!

I would like to use the tab-character within a RichTextArea in GWT.
The usual behavior of pressing the tab-key is to switch the focus to
the next element. I am trying to capture the TAB-Key when typing text
in a RichTextArea (via KeyDownHandler) and insert the tab character at
the current cursor position. Sadly the RichTextArea has no
getCursorPos/setCursorPos like the TextArea has.

Any ideas?

Many thanks!

Marcus

Thanks for your link, I have already seen this one and it works only
for a TextArea. You don't have the cursor position in a RTA. I've
found something else, maybe that will work for the cursor position:
