      Hi everyone,
      Thanks for watching and commenting on this issue. Your input in the comments helps us understand how this affects you and what you're hoping to accomplish with Confluence.

      We have reviewed this further and this is what our findings on this bug :

      UPDATE:

      • The documentation provided has been reviewed and the sentence using Tab key within Confluence is no longer stated there
      • We have tested this out and here are our findings :

      In the old editor.

      • We can confirm that the Tab key does not work and that is expected since we have the indent button at the toolbar to indent text out. This is set by designed for the old editor

      In the new editor

      This is also been rectified for new editor where the tab key does work

      Summary

      The Confluence documentation states that pressing the Tab key within the Confluence Editor will indent the text (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Keyboard+Shortcuts).
      However, this is not the case - it simply navigates the cursor from within the text editing downward to the Save/Create button.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Go to a page and edit or create new page
      2. Add title and text
      3. Hit the "Tab" key when putting the cursor on the text

      Expected Results

      It will indent the text

      Actual Results

      Does not indent the text

      Workaround

      In old editor

      Click on the indent button when clicking on the text

      In new editor

      New editor supports tab key for keyboards.
