Pressing tab in code blocks redirects to "Create Topic" button

[Aerosphia (Aero)]

Starting today, while attempting to press tab to format my lua code blocks, I’ve been redirected to the “Create Topic” button, causing me to type without knowing and accidentally creating a topic or a reply.

Reproduction Steps
Open up the “New Topic” prompt (or reply), and attempt to press tab in Lua code blocks.

This is sadly intentional.

Enabling the tab key in markdown editor

You’ll have to resort to using spaces to indent instead, or write the code in another editor that isn’t the composer.

I swear I remembered pressing tab to indent on a few replies.
Thanks! Should I delete the post?

I don’t believe so, although there is a feature request to support indenting using tabs in the composer, if you want this you should support this feature request

Tab support in posts

Having tab support added would be geatly beneficial, even if it is just inside codeblocks. As most everyone knows, unindented code is harder to read and makes helping people more of an annoyance. Discourse co-founder Jeff Atwood doesn’t seem to think this is a good idea, so suggesting it directly to this forum seems like a better idea. If accessability is a concern, this could be a toggleable setting of some sort.
