What Happens
The cursor moves to the next tab stop.
If you can’t see the next tab stop on your screen, TEDIT moves the text to
the left so you can see both the cursor and the tab stop.
Tips
TAB uses the default tab stop settings of the current profile. The
default settings are every 8 columns (9, 17, 25, 33, and so on). Use the
RECONFIGURE OPTIONS command to change these settings.
You can set up to 20 tab stops in ascending order. The highest tab stop
you can assign is 238 (for example, 80, 90, 208, and 238).
When you move the cursor to the highest (last) tab stop, TAB no longer
moves the cursor forward.
Related Commands
BACKTAB moves cursor one tab stop to the left.
RECONFIGURE OPTIONS lets you view and change the tab stop settings.
