Allows you to insert tab characters into textarea fields (multi-line text fields).

Description from store How many times have you wanted to put a TAB character into a text field, only to find that it simply moves you to the next field? Whether you're writing code, creating a list of items or creating a multi-column table, the ability to insert TAB characters is one that you won't take for granted. Tab Grabber tries to be smart about it. If you are attempting to tab through the fields in a form, it won't stop you. But, if you're clearly entering text in a field, it will kick in and allow you to use TAB characters in the field. Oh, and it also supports the TAB character's arch-enemy, SHIFT+TAB.

(2017-03-09, v:1.1) Tab Grabber is causing issues in Gmail
I am having serious styling issues in Gmail where I am unable to indent or unindent after the first or second time I use it. I am using it with the following extensions, Grammarly for Chrome and Gmelius. Being able to disable this item for certain domains would be fabulous as i use this regularly in various conditions, but can't have it messing with me in Gmail.
(2016-12-04, v:1.1) Customizable tab character
Would be great if we could configure the length of the tab, and replace it with spaces.
(2016-05-11, v:1.1) Allow item to be deactivated based on pages
It would be great if the tab editor could be disabled on certain pages or conditions.
