I am on an Android mobile device, I use the [Microsoft SwiftKey virtual keyboard](https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/swiftkey) in version 9.10.37.20
Where can I find the TAB key, or what is the short cut to fire an TAB event?
I asked Bing Copilot:
> Certainly! To insert a tab (tabulator) using the SwiftKey keyboard on Android, follow these steps:
> Double Space Key: SwiftKey provides a convenient way to insert a tab. Simply double-tap the space key, and it will insert a tab character.
Remember that the availability of this feature may vary depending on the keyboard app and its settings. Give the double space key a try, and you should be able to insert tabs easily!
But this do not work.
I checked my settings. Double tapping on the space bar -> is doing a dot.
I switched the setting off, but the behavior is still the same.
I also checked my settings -> a long press on space will show the cursor to navigate in text.
Why I need the TAB key?
* Bing search is offering the auto-suggestions via tab
* In terminals (yes it is possible on mobile)
* Edit text in Microsoft Word
