Making the tab key work like a standard text editor tab.

Information in this Brief applies to:

• Borland JBuilder 9.x
• Non-OS Specific

Overview

In later versions of Jbuilder the tab key auto formats, rather than allowing the user to indent an arbitrary number of times. Jbuilder Can be configured to allow the user to freely indent.

Details

In recent versions of JBuilder, the Tab key has been mapped to autoformat, rather than indent. The F2 Key is the default for tabbing within the editor. It is easy to switch the two.

Right click on your source and select Editor Options
Under the Editor tab, click the Customize button for the Keymap you have selected
Scroll down to the Indent section (about 2/3 of the way down) and swap the values for format-code and indent
Hit OK and the editor will now treat your tab key like previous versions did.
