While "getting to know" the koffice code, I was writing a little
function that would make <ctrl><right arrow> move to the next word, and
began to have trouble with tabs. I decided to see how word-wrap handled
tabs, and found that it didn't. i.e. when the user types to the end of a
line, tabs, and continues typing, it wraps the first text, tab, and
second text to the next line. I'm assuming this is not the behaviour we
want. I tried changing KWFormatContext::makeLineLayout in fc.cc where it
checks for space characters to check for \t as well, but that did not
work, so I assume that \t != kword tabs. Just thought I would point this
out.
