it seems both tab and cr are handled twice in paragraph editor when handled as meta keys. Not sure why yet...
OK, this is what I figured out and I might be completely wrong. Couldn't find any hints in documentation so it's based on trial and error.
CR and TAB act as normal keys (windows event wise) *unless* ctrl is pressed. - removed CR and TAB from virtual key map - add an extra keyChar event in that case (ctrl pressed together with CR or TAB).
See code below.
Flames, pointers to docs, explanations welcome :-)
