How can you tab in Markdown?

Not sure if I'm missing an easy solution to this or not but I've been using Markdown when creating pages and when I go to indent bullet points I have to use spacebar instead of tab as tab changes what field I'm in. I tried control+tab and found out that's the key combo to switch browser tabs. Any suggestions? I currently use Chrome or Brave for my browser.

Hey @Bearking! As it is now, the Markdown box is just a simple HTML textarea with absolutely no code applied to the box itself. That means that there's no real way to use Tab to actually insert a tab. But that doesn't mean it's not possible! It shouldn't be very hard to whip up a little custom JavaScript that would actually insert tabs when the Markdown text box is selected.

It would honestly be a good feature to include in the core if I can get the code small enough, so give me a bit of time and I'll see if it's viable!
