op.tabKeyReorg

Syntax op.tabKeyReorg (boolean)
Params boolean is a boolean value (true or false) indicating whether the Tab key should be interpreted in an outline window to move the heading on which it is pressed.
Action If boolean is true, any subsequent use of the Tab key in any outline window can be used to move a heading to the right or left. If boolean is false, the Tab key simply inserts a tab character when it is pressed.
Returns True
Examples In examples.Sample Outline 1, position the cursor on "Subhead 1, Summit 2." Execute:
op.tabKeyReorg (false)


   » true

Now activate the outline window again and press the Tab key. Notice that the item marker stays in place while the text in the heading moves to the right five spaces. Backspace to remove the tab and then execute:
op.tabKeyReorg (true)


   » true

Now activate the outline window again, place the cursor in front of the text of the current heading, and press the Tab key. Nothing happens because the Tab key cannot move this heading to the right any farther than it already is. Hold down the Shift key
and press the Tab key and the heading moves to the left one position.
