way to insert special characters

I would find it very useful if I could do: right click -> insert special character.

For example, if I need to insert a hard tab for whatever reason (it's a Makefile, it's a script where \t won't do, it's a file using tab indentation, but I don't want to change the global tab settings, and so on..) I could then simply do: right click -> insert special character -> Tab.

Besides "Tab", there could probably be other special characters - not sure though. What I personally could really use is a TAB :)

Settings->Editor->Abbreviations

add an entry 't', then type [tab]| in the editbox.

Now you just have to type 't', then ctrl+j to insert your tab character.

The previous was for nightly builds.

For RC2, it's Settings->Editor->Auto-Complete
