Can you add a tab space within a text box? I’m looking for the same functionality as in Word; where hitting tab indents the text by set amount & aligns rows of text to the same indentation. When I paste text in from an external source the tab is retained, so functionality looks like it’s in Pigment; but I can’t work out how to invoke it by typing (hitting the tab button just jumps to next widget on the board).

Hi ​@Trev_Clark ,

I use this blank special character to do the tabulation/identation or rename spacing metrics : “⠀” as tab and space don’t work.
 

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks Clement,

I’ll give this a try as a work around to the lack of tab function.
