You should distinguish between updating text and navigation. Tab 
*characters* are inserted into the text, while the tab *key* is used to 
navigate in special document GUIs, with distinct fields. The text in an 
editor is not organized into fields, so that the tab key here can be 
used as it was before other GUIs have been invented.
