Ok, I understand that you don'whant tabs to to the job, but what about
the arrow keys? I mean this there anything wrong from the usability
point of view to jump ot the next or the previous line? The cursor in a
text does so, so it would be kinda consistent.
Anyways, I'm just posting to know, whether or not it's worth an RFE or
even a bug, or if people think of it as the "wrong" behaviour.
