Tab Key stopped working: xCode 13.2.1 Monterey 12.2.1

For whatever reason, my tab key stopped working altogether in xCode editor. It works in other apps fine.Tried upgrading to xCode 13.3. Same thing.

Ideas?

tab key stopped working Where exactly ?

  • In text Editing (what do you get when you tab ?)
  • elsewhere to switch to a next item

Have you checked in Xcode Preferences > Key bindings (look for Tab) ?

Tried alternate keyboard. Same behavior.

clarification: Tab key will not insert spaces (4) for indentation. I have to copy/paste spaces to indent now.

Did you check Preferences ? You may have created a new shortcut with Tab, overriding the usual Tab. As preferences are kept when you upgrade, moving to 13.3 did not solve.
