Description Lars Schöning 2006-04-15 14:26:16 UTC 
When in gedit line(s) of text are selected tab deletes those lines and replaces
them with a tab; Could I suggest of having a special function for tab which
indents all selected lines with a tab rather than deleting them?

Considering that tab is seldom used when trying to delete lines and considering
that gedit is meant to support code editing.

I think this little change will improve gedit by a lot for the effort it needs
to fix this.

Thanks for the bug report. The plug-in "indent", which is provided with gedit, does what you want but uses a different shortcut (Ctrl+T).

Anyway, using Tab for that purprose is being considered as a feature of gedit's main widget, ie GtkSourceView. That's why I'm marking this bug as a duplicate, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.
