Description

- EdgeDB Version: EdgeDB 1.0-alpha.4+dev.68.g2f119281
- EdgeDB CLI Version: edgedb-cli 1.0.0-alpha.4
- OS Version: gentoo linux

When writing any query pressing "tab" doesn't do anything at all. It should actually perform tabulation (whether by inserting spaces or actual tab characters). This is especially annoying with nested queries (I used to copy/paste them a lot so I didn't notice before).

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by locating the CLI REPL's query input and key-handling entry point, then verify how Tab is processed while writing nested queries. Done means pressing Tab inserts indentation, using spaces or tab characters, and the behavior is covered by an appropriate test if the input layer supports one.
