Tab stops
You can set tab stops values with the keyword DocmodeTabStops=<column1,column2,...> in the .WS profile. You can set the tab stops by specifying the number of the columns that you want for the tab stops, separated by commas (for example, 5,10,15,20,25).
When tab stops are set, pressing the Tab key causes the cursor
to skip to one of the following, whichever comes first:
- The next tab stop in the same unprotected field on the same row. Note that tab stops cannot be defined outside the left or right margin.
- The first character position in the next unprotected field on the same row, if that character position is within the margins.
- The first character position in the next unprotected field in a subsequent row, if that character position is within the margins.
The following conditions apply when using tab stops:
- Characters that are skipped over as the result of a tab key are not set to blanks.
- Characters that lie within an unprotected field and that the cursor skips over as the result of a tab key are not set to blanks. However, nulls that the cursor skips over as the result of a tab key are set to blanks.
