Extension summary

How many times have you wanted to put a TAB character into a text field, only to find that it simply moves you to the next field?

Whether you're writing code, creating a list of items or creating a multi-column table, the ability to insert TAB characters is one that you won't take for granted.

Tab Grabber tries to be smart about it. If you are attempting to tab through the fields in a form, it won't stop you. But, if you're clearly entering text in a field, it will kick in and allow you to use TAB characters in the field.

Oh, and it also supports the TAB character's arch-enemy, SHIFT+TAB.
