Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

Currently when you press the Tab key on the keyboard what hoppscotch does is to jump to another input and then it would be great if instead of doing that it would be like the code editors like VS Code, Sublime, etc. that what they do is add a space and do not select another text input.

Also that you could choose whether to add Tabs or Spaces and how many of each in number.

Why should this be worked on?

Because it would be very convenient when it comes to writing code and not having to press the prettify button every time to have a tidy code.

I've added these key press events on editors:

Tab = insert tab space
Selection + Tab = indent more
Shift + Tab = indent less
