Fixing TAB with a selection of code

[Mansour Ayouni]

Hello Mahmoud,

When we select a section of code and hit TAB, we expect to get the code moved on forward whatever number of positions the TAB button represents:

Unfortunately, in Ring NotePad this causes the whole code to be deleted...

All the best,

Mansour

I don't have this behaviour on my machine

When I press TAB the code is moved to the right

When I press SHIFT-TAB the code is moved to the left

Maybe something related to keyboard identification!

Hello Mansour

By the way, I added this feature in 2017 

In this commit:  Update RingQt - Code Editor - Tab Key - indent text (many lines) · ring-lang/ring@5122da3 (github.com)

Greetings,

Mahmoud

Hello Mansour, Mahmoud

The Ring NotePad  TAB  works as expected on my laptop,  Windows 11   Ring-20 64bit

  -  Select some lines

  - TAB             ==> moves to the Right

  - Shift-TAB   <== moves to the Left

This is very nice, we are using the same Windows version / Ring version

Hello Mahmoud and Bert,

You are right, it works correctly!

What confused me is that I clicked on the Undo button on the icon bar. Instead of switching the text back to the left, it removed it...

Actually, the responsible action of the issue is not the [TAB] but the [Undo] button!

All the best,

Mansour
