Ctrl + tab problem

Hi, has anyone ever had a problem with ctrl + tab : for indenting selected text. Sometimes when I do this, the text just disappears and I can't find it ??. Any help would be great.

Hi Rebecca,

I don't know if you're talking about this happening in Workspaces or your text editor but this typically happens when you highlight text, so what happens is if you tab; the browser/editor treats this as cutting text.

You can always get the text back with Alt/Ctrl + Z as a keyboard shortcut to undo that change! :-)

Hi Jonathan, Thanks so much for that. I kept deleting large amounts of selected text in quizzes! Sometimes it indents and sometimes it deletes.
