Is there any way the text editor can capture TAB key events and actually indent code? Can one override the default behavior of the browser once the text editor gets the focus?

The reason I ask is obvious: If you write some code from scratch to explain something you can't go ahead and indent it as usual by a simple press of the TAB key but only by tedious banging of the space bar. Ok, one could edit stuff in another editor and post the formatted code right into the code section, but that's not how it's supposed to work, is it?

We've just added a few new formatting options (all samples shown with spaces but must be used without spaces):

Strickthrough: found in the advanced editor and used as [ STRIKE ] Some text [ / STRIKE ]
Notes: found in the advanced editor and used as [ note ] Some text [ / note ]
Variables: found in the advanced editor and used as [ var ] Some text [ / var ]
Highlight: found in the advanced editor and used as [ HIGHLIGHT ] Some text [ / HIGHLIGHT ]

Highlight will let you choose the language you wish to set the syntax highlighting as. You simply need to choose the language in the opening tag [ HIGHLIGHT = cpp ] Some C++ code here [ / HIGHLIGHT ]

A complete list of languages is available on the Geshi website

Yup, that is how it's supposed to work. At least on all the forums I've been too. Changing the default behaviour of the tab on one field could also lead to those with accessibility issues, not being able to post questions anymore. As the tab is used to move from field to field.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Low priority, but would be nice if we could enable a setting or extension in VBulletin that prevents follow-ups to a thread after ~3-6 months (to stop folks from ressurrecting long-dead threads they dig out of the search engine). I notice that gamedev.net has something similar:

Old topic!
Guest, the last post of this topic is over 180 days old and at this point you may not reply in this topic. If you wish to continue this conversation start a new topic.

Also my vote for this proposal. Old post should be locked.

I just noticed that using code tags which are set in italics are completed automatically and form the following:

'['code']'I would use QT for window/input management and possibly for an ingame GUI. '['/code']' -> '['code']'I would use QT for window/input management and possibly for an ingame GUI. '['/code']['code']['/code]'

I would use QT for window/input management and possibly for an ingame GUI.

I don't know if this behavior is intended.
