Some common text editors use the <Tab> key to indent list items and the <Shift>+<Tab> key combination to un-indent. It would be nice if JIRA's list behavior was consistent with this.

When typing in a list with the cursor just to the right of a bullet or at the beginning of a bullet-ed line, if the user types <Tab>, JIRA should recognize that the user wants to indent the current bullet.

For example:

* Bullet 1
*

With the cursor at the end or beginning of the second line, <Tab> should insert additional asterisks (or pound signs for numbered lists). <Shift>+<Tab> should remove asterisks (or pound signs for numbered lists) until only one remains.
