Inside a table, `TXTextControl` gives the TAB key and some mouse actions a meaning of their own: they move between cells and select cells, rows and columns. The table lists these additions to the general mouse and keyboard interface.

### Keys and Mouse Actions in Tables

| Key or mouse action | What `TXTextControl` does |
|---|---|
| TAB | Selects the next table cell. |
| SHIFT + TAB | Selects the previous table cell. |
| CTRL + TAB | Inserts a tab character. |
| Click the top of a column (first row) | Selects the complete table column. |
| Click on the selection bar (left or right margin) | Selects the complete table row. |
| Double-click a table cell | Selects the complete table cell. |
