Trap the 'tab' key

[Nandini Jayabalan]

I have changed the behaviour of the 'tab key by using 'CKEDITOR.config.tabSpaces = 4;'

But I am unable to track the 'tab' keystroke for the character counter plugin that we developed inhouse

This isn't support site or forum but place for reporting bugs.

Please look for errors in your plugin's code as with this setting or wothout it tab key is being caught in CKE 3.x with key code 9:

				editor.on('pluginsLoaded', function(evt){//9
					evt.editor.on( 'contentDom', function( e )	{
						e.editor.document.on( 'keydown', function( event ) {
								attachOnKeydown( e.editor, event );
							} );						
											
						evt.editor.on( 'mode', function( e ) {
							if ( e.editor.mode != 'source' )
								return;

							e.editor.textarea.on( 'keydown', function( event ) {
								attachOnKeydown( e.editor, event );
							} );					
						});					
						function attachOnKeydown( editor, event ){		
							console.log(event.data.getKeystroke());
						}
					});
				});
