    Default Is there a keyboard with a "tab" key?

    One thing I miss in my switch from a Palm device to android is a "tab" key on the keyboard. This would be handy for a number of word processing functions, especially when using the outline feature of Documents to Go.

    Is there a keyboard or some other app that lets me us a tab key function?

    Thanks,

    Jim

    There are probably others, but Hacker's Keyboard has a Tab key and it is a pretty nice keyboard.

    If you have Swype installed, swipe your finger from the Swype symbol (bottom left) to the SYM key (right next to it). It'll open up a key pad for cursor movements, tab, copy, cut, paste, select text, page up, page down, etc.

    I just noticed that pressing the shift key on Swype, the spacebar changes to a tab key.

    Sweet. You are right. I never noticed that before. I love swype when it is actually part of the OS. I hated the hoops you had to jump through back when it was a beta on my Nexus One.

    I use Swype all the time now.
