[pmwiki-users] Forefox: Inserting <tab> in a textarea HOWTO

This is just a heads-up for Firefox users who want to insert <tab>s into 
their wiki textarea, but are thwarted by the browser's behaviour of 
navigating to the next link or form field.

There's an extension to solve this issue called Tabinta

  https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3955/

Note that when not in a textarea, <tab> behaves normally. You also have 
the option to assign any key to insert <tab>, instead of the default 
<tab>-key.

The only weakness is that there isn't a related combination to do what 
<tab> normally does when in a textarea, so Tabinta's usefulness will 
depend on your MO.
