🚀 go-pugleaf

Thanks Lori,

I will go for the simple:
     textArea.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter(){
       public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke){
         if(ke.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB)
         {
           ke.consume();
           [nextComponent].requestFocus();
         }}});

It seems to work pretty good.
I also wanted to implement SHIFT-TAB but couldn't find any 
KeyEvent.[SHIFT-TAB] so I went to:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/events/keylistener.html

Now, this example didn't even read tabs...

I will investigate later,

Thanks again.
