[Github-comments] [geany] Inconsistent shift right on tab (#761)

[elextr]

This is working as expected.  The tab key is not a "shift right" key, it is an insert.  It inserts sufficient whitespace so the first non-whitespace after the selection moves to the next tab stop.  Note that this is a normal insert, ie any selection is replaced by the inserted text.  This is normal behaviour for any insert, by typing, by paste, by the tab key.

Simply select a vertical line before the text you want to move, ie where you want the insert, don't select the text you want to move or it will be replaced.
