## Description

Textarea Tabbing is a Chrome extension that simplifies text editing within textarea fields. Instead of moving focus when pressing the Tab key, this extension allows you to insert Tab characters directly into your text, making indentation effortless. Additionally, selecting multiple lines and pressing Tab indents all lines, while Shift+Tab removes indentation, streamlining code writing and note-taking tasks.

Ideal for developers, writers, and anyone working with multiline text input, Textarea Tabbing enhances productivity by providing easy indentation control without leaving the textarea. This extension is lightweight, intuitive, and integrates smoothly into your browser experience.
