Comment (by dd32):
> Standard behaviour for a textarea when tab key is pressed is to move to
the next item that can receive focus.
Standard behaviour for a "Code Editor" (Which the text area is in this
case) is to insert a tab character for indention purposes, Shift+Tab would
be to un-indent, so to remove the tab before the current position.
The Plugin/Theme editors being Code Editors rather than standard form
elements makes me comfortable that the Esc key being added as an escape..
but that's just a Developers opinion, those that would be using the
textarea, for the tab key to do anything other than inserting a tab makes
muscle memory useless
