If I press TAB between two words in Libreoffice, then a TAB gets inserted between these words. See this screenshot and the blue arrow:
If I do the same in CKEditor, then the whole line gets moved to the right. See this screenhost and the blue arrow:
Is there a way to configure CKEditor to behave like libreoffice?
What you have highlighted with violet color is for increasing an indent of the paragraph and it is not for inserting a tab in between words.
Definition
When referring to text, indent or indentation is the increase or
decrease of space between the left and right margin of a paragraph. In
many programs, an indent for the first line of text can be created by
moving the cursor to the front of the line and pressing the tab key on
the keyboard.
You can set tabSpaces config option to allow tabs in the editor.

How do I shift a set of lines one space to the right within a text editor?
If I wanted to shift a set of lines several spaces to the right, I would perform:
selected text + Tab
However, I just want to shift the text one space to the right without tabbing.
Any suggestions?
Hold down the alt key, left-click and hold the mouse button down on the first line where you wish to insert your space. Then, while still holding down the left mouse button, drag the mouse vertically to extend this edit point to all the lines you want to move. Dragging it horizontally will create a box selection, which you want to avoid, as the selected text will end up being replaced, rather than a space be added.
Also, you cannot select individual, disjoint lines to move. You can only use alt-drag over a contiguous block of lines.
Once you have your multiline edit point created, hit the spacebar once.
Tada.
Here's a blog post by Scott Guthrie with more details and a vidya demo
If you don't want to use the mouse, you can use shift+alt+(up, down, left, or right) to create a box selection, or a multiline edit point.
For some reason, whenever I create a Text Box and start typing, the background text is highlighted white and I can't make it transparent. This picture should explain everything:
I want to remove the highlighting so the gradient in the background shows through. I used to do things like this a lot, but for some reason Word won't let me now. Any suggestions?
I am on Word 2011 Mac
Got some clues here and finally found a solution for MSWord for Mac version 16.9:
Select the text you want to fix
Select "Design" Tab
Click "Page Borders"
Click the "Shading" Tab
Select Apply to "Text"
[Fill] is showing "No Color". Open the selection and re-select "No Color"
Hit "OK"
Worked for me. It is obviously a bug in Word.
Right-click the text box that you want to make invisible.
If you want to change multiple text boxes, click the first text box or shape, and then press and hold SHIFT while you click the other text boxes.
On the shortcut menu, click Format Text Box.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Fill section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
On the Colors and Lines tab, in the Line section, click the arrow next to Color, and then click No Color.
Click OK. Your textbox's background is now invisible...
It seems the actual text highlight is your problem, so try:
Go into Borders and Shading, apply it to text, and set it to clear. Had me confused because I've never had to do this before.
As seen here.
I also searched around and had trouble finding this.
In Word for Mac 2011
Highlight the text
Click tables in the ribbon
Find the shading icon (looks like a paint bucket)
Click the down arrow next to the bucket and select No Fill
Change the text format from anything apart from Normal text.(important)
Solution 1
Select the Text box and go to the "format" tab,
modify the outline and fill options
if this isn't enough
Solution 2
select the Text box and right click for options
select the last option "format shape"
When I indent by tabbing "Tab" key, the tab is replaced by 4 spaces. Does anyone know how could I set it to normal?
At the bottom of the editor window there is a menu for tab size, you can set the desired width there as well as turning on soft tabs which inserts spaces instead of tabs but treats them as tabs when editing. Your choice will be saved based on the active file type so make sure to set it when in a python file.
Using TextMate on Mac, the "invisibles" can be displayed by using
View -> Show Invisibles
But the space vs tab characters are not shown, and Preferences doesn't seem to have any entry to change that either. Is there a way to show them? It is because some older coder may have tab or space mixed together so what looks good in the editor may actually be misaligned. (editor shows tab as 2 spaces)
Tab characters are shown, but spaces are not. What's probably happening is that you have Soft tabs turned on, in which case the tabs are converted into spaces automatically.

In this picture there is a tab character, new line, tab character, new line, soft tab, new line
See this thread for an explanation as to why spaces are not shown.
Here is where you can change soft/real tabs.

If "Show invisibles" is activated, you will see a little triangle for each tab, which points to the right. Spaces are not shown at all, you can only see them indirectly, i.e. via the symbol which represents the line break. If the line break isn't the first character after your code of that line, there are spaces in between.
So to make a long answer short: You should already see tabs, however the symbols representing the invisibles are sometimes hard to see.
I look around for the preferences in TextMate and there seems to be no method to set the indent to 2 spaces when we highlight some code and choose
Text -> Shift Right
Right now it is indenting 4 spaces but is there a way to make it 2?
It's on the bottom bar off the application towards the middle.
It'll say something like 'Soft Tabs: 4' if you click it you can change it to do 2 spaces for tabs.
Also you can edit multiple lines by holding Option and dragging your mouse along the spot in the lines. When you type, the text will be on all the lines you selected at that spot.
