Thanks for the update on what behaviour to expect in the future.
One consideration that may need to be given is to existing code and how tabs will be updated from 2 to 4 spaces for example to align existing TI and Rules with the new behaviour.

Thank you for the observations/confirmation George on the cursing amount going down!
We'd definitely make the Tab behaviour consistant in the Rule editor as it'd next to be updated with CM6.
- Tabs in Rules would also insert the equivalent of 4 spaces.
- One backspace in Rules would remove the Tab inserted = 4 spaces.
Best regards,

Closing the loop on this one.
Can confirm that the Tab key in PAW 2.0.93 behaves as it used to pre PAW 2.0.92
Tab indents, Shift+Tab outdents, Tab on the auto-complete/intellisense selects the proposed items and inserts it into your code.
This behaviour is consistent in TI and Rules.
What is inconsistent is the following:
- Tabs in TI insert the equivalent of 4 spaces whilst in rules this is 2
- Backspace of an inserted Tab in TI removes the tab (i.e. the 4 spaces) in one keystroke. In rules, you need to backspace twice.
There will definitely be much less cursing now as hitting tab to insert offered functions and variables will actually do what I expect and not change the focus to the next selectable item on my screen.
Thanks @Svetlana Pestsova for your help with this one.

Hi all posted,
Based on the community feedback the functionality for TAB - to autocomplete and to indent lines, would be supported in the next PAW release,
Sorry for inconvenience,

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same behaviour. Hereunder, a tip of what I understand regarding the new behaviour.
Some remarks:
- Indentation using the Tab key on the keyboard is not possible,
- One-time indentation of the entire script (all sections):
NB: It indents all the code according to the zones to be indented, typically the conditional blocks (IF, ELSE), the loops (WHILE) but also the #Regions nested inside the blocks (IF and WHILE), which represents a saving of time considerable for readability and understanding of other people's codes
- The button to fold only folds the 4 sections [#Section] (PROLOG, METADATA, DATA and EPILOG), but does not fold the #Regions,
Regards,

Seems like the tab key has completely lost it's functionality in v92 in the TI editor PAW modeling.
In v91 and prior you could use tab to autocomplete and also to indent lines. Seems now you have to use the arrows/enter to autocomplete and use Ctrl+I to indent. However, the rule editor behaves the same as it used to.
Was this an intended functionality change?
