Tab
Text
Hex 0x09

Move the cursor right to the next tab stop.

A tab stop is a specifically marked column that a cursor stops when a tab is invoked. Tab stops are typically thought of as uniform spacing (i.e. four spaces) but in terminals this is not the case: tab stops can be set at any column number using the tab set and tab clear sequences.

Initially, tab stops are set on every 8th column.

TODO

  • Integration with left/right margins of the scrolling region.
  • How does horizontal tab interact with the pending wrap state?
