Related, it occurred to me that it's sometimes annoying to have to write 
this handler just to have tabs entered into the text of a field:

on tabKey
    put tab into the selecction
end tabKey

So I submitted a request for an allowTabs field property; off by 
default, when true it would allow a field to accept tabs the user types:

To vet this idea I created a thread about it in the Engine Contributors 
section of the forum:
