Description

Hi team,

I noticed that the 'tab' key won't work for indentation when editing a rule with Netlify CMS (in both rich text and markdown views). You go to the next field instead.

This is noticed when dealing with lists inside lists, where indentation is needed.

I figured that the work-around is to add multiple spaces, but IMO this is counterproductive for content writing. I would prefer to keep using the 'tab' key if possible

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Netlify CMS using both the rich text and markdown views, focusing on nested lists where indentation is needed. Trace the editor behavior when Tab is pressed instead of adding indentation. Done means Tab can indent list content in both views without unexpectedly moving to the next field.
