Steps to reproduce:

I created a code area and gave it the attribute contenteditable="true".
Then I wrote Javascript to indent the content of this code area.

jsfiddle.net/KolyaKorruptis/zsa5u176/4/

Actual results:

The content is not indented. The same works for a div with contenteditable="true" but not on a code tag. See my jsfiddle above.

Expected results:

The content should get indented on pressing the tabulator key.
