Description

Currently Ctrl-Space is uses for auto-complete, which users have noticed - is also used for maximize area. T67203

While Ctrl-Alt-Space can be used as a similar fallback, it's not ideal.

To resolve this we can have an operator that indents (when there is no text before the cursor) otherwise auto-complete.

This can use the Tab key.

This can be done for the Python console as well.

I managed to implement this change, but I'd like to be sure of what the new behaviour should be:

  • If the selection is not empty, the line is indented
  • If the selection is empty and the character before the cursor is whitespace, the line is indented
  • If the selection is empty and the character before the cursor is not whitepace, the word is autocompleted

Is this what you had in mind ?

@Wilhem Barbier (wbrbr), missed your comment. Made it so any selection indents.
