When the user presses the tab key inside a content-editable div I prepend 4 whitespaces to the text inside that p tag like so:
containerWithCaret = rangy.getSelection().anchorNode.parentNode
$(containerWithCaret).prepend ' '
Since the div is set to white-space pre the tab shows up fine. But now when the user presses shift + tab I am not sure how to untab the white spaces? How can simulate the delete key being pressed 4 times? I tried using jquery to set the text of the div to a substring minus the first 4 character but got messy results with the caret.
Is there a good way to untab by keeping track of how many tabs each line has and to remove them how can I simulate the delete key being pressed 4 times?
Try this:
$( ".inner" ).prepend( " " );
and for removing these spaces you can use:
myString.replace(/ +/g, '');
I think this will work.
happyCoding :D
