[Bug]: Can't do a tabulation in the markdown editor (.md)

Bug description

Pressing tab makes the editor focus on the 3 dots icon instead of entering a tabulation when in the markdown editor (when editing a .md file)

This prevents me from making indented unordered lists like this:

• Example

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a .md file
2. Press tab

Expected behavior

Obvious enough, a tab should be entered, or it should at least be able to indent a list item

Dear @azalty, thanks for your report.

Entering tab characters is unsupported intentionally, to allow tab navigation on the website.

But about your second point: in lists, the Tab key should indeed indent the list item if appropriate. If this this doesn't work, it's clearly a bug. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this myself. For me, indenting list items with the Tab key works as intented.

In order to further track down the bug, we'd need some additional information:

• Which browser and operating system do you use? Are you able to reproduce the bug with different browsers?
• In case you have the Collectives app installed, does the bug also happen in Text documents there, or only if you open Text documents from the Files app?
• If you share a single Text document via link and open this share in a private browser tab, are you able to indent lists with the Tab key there? Or does it still not work?

So only occurs when editing a .md file in the File Editor app.
Works fine in the Notes and Decks apps when editing rich text.
Using Microsoft Edge Version 115.0.1901.183 (Official build) (64-bit) on Windows 11. Also have witnessed the same behaviour in Google Chrome Version 114.0.5735.248 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Nextcloud 27.0.1

I opened the developer tools console on the browser and the following resource was not loaded caused by a CSRF check failed error message showing when I navigated to the resource:

ocs/v2.php/apps/text/workspace?path=%2FQueer+Stream%2FProduction%2FShows at at xhr.js:251

and for

index.php/apps/text/session/push at xhr.js:251 I receive a HTTP 405 error

and keep getting this message

index.php/apps/text/session/push 403 error xhr.js:251

Other messages
POST https://xxxxxx/index.php/apps/text/session/push 403
[ERROR] text: failed to write to document - not allowed {app: 'text', uid: 'xxx', level: 2}
[ERROR] text: Error: Failed to apply steps. Retry! {app: 'text', uid: 'xxx', level: 2}
Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'id')

Steps to reproduce:
Create a new .md file in a folder through the web interface

1. Create an ordered or un-ordered list
2. Write some text
3. Press return to create a new line
4. Press the tab button on the keyboard

Hope it helps... always happy to help out
