Description Ed Sanders 2014-09-10 17:57:25 UTC
Current (Shift+)Tab (De-)indents a list item, but in any other context it falls back to native behaviour and ends up blurring the whole document. If the user expects Tab to perform a document action it's a bit annoying if the end up leaving the document, so we should either have it do something (next paragraph?) or prevent default.

In table cells Tab should move to the next cell (as in Google Docs, LOffice etc.)

Yeah; how do we help keyboards users / those with screen-readers / etc. get to the toolbar for actions? GDocs uses Alt-… to get to theirs, can we assume that that works for them and can we use it?

… and if you're at the last cell of the last row, insert a new row of empty cells, and focus the first cell of the new row.
