Hi,
Is there a keyboard shortcut to enter a TAB character in a string field, such as a record's description field?

Hi Sandeep,
By "TAB character" I mean the tab key on the keyboard. When you press that while in a string field it just moves your cursor to the next field or button, instead of indenting your text like it would in a text editor. I'm wondering, is there some alternative keyboard shortcut to make the tab key function like it would in a text editor?
Thanks
