How do I do what the Java editor does for the Tab key?
The Java editor binds Control-I to "Correct Indentation" and it binds Tab to a
function that works almost the same if the cursor is in the whitespace at the
start of a line. But I can't find the Tab binding anywhere. I can find the
Control-I binding,
<extension point="org.eclipse.ui.bindings">
<key sequence="M1+I"
commandId="org.eclipse.jdt.ui.edit.text.java.indent"
......
But what is it binding to Tab and more importantly how is it doing it?
There's nothing bound to Tab according to the Preferences>Keys page but it
obviously is bound to something. I would like to provide the same general
functionality in my editor, but what goes into the plugin.xml file?

See
org.eclipse.ui.texteditor.AbstractTextEditor.setActionActiva tionCode(String,
char, int, int).
The Java editor does this: setActionActivationCode("IndentOnTab", '\t',
-1, SWT.NONE); //$NON-NLS-1$
