How to disabled tab expand abbreviation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a way to disable tab expand abbreviation for Dreamwaver
cs5 ?

Used to press tab for code indentation, with zencoding the whole bunch
of highlighted code get deleted when tab is pressed.

Thanks

Please be more descriptive.

Latest Zen Coding extension (0.7.2) extends abbreviations only if a strict set 
of conditions met. So, it'll never expand if selection present. Tab key 
replacing selection is a default editor behavior.

Finally, you can modify source of the extension code or menus.xml to remove Tab 
shortcut.

In Dreamweaver CS5 for Windows 7 replace the shortcut "Tab" to 
"Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Space" in the file Menus.xml

1. Open the C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 
CS5\en_US\Configuration\Menus\Menus.xml

2. Search for "Tab" (with quotes) 

3. Replace "Tab" to "Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Space "

4. Save the file

5. Restart Dreamweaver

Hope that helps,
Hugs,

The line is replaced with:
<shortcut key="Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Space" command="dw.runCommand('ZenCoding.html', 
'expand_abbreviation_with_tab')" name="Expand Abbreviation with Zen Coding" 
id="DWMenu_Shortcut_ZenCoding_expandAbbreviationWithTab" />

I'm having a similar issue in eclispe, it began by quite rudely overriding lots 
of the default controls for eclipse such as CTRL+D for delete line (not 
impressed!), most of which I've managed to remove so just CTRL+E activates it 
EXCEPT for the tab key

Whenever I'm typing and try to insert a tab after a variable e.g.

$someVar<press tab>

it gets translated to:

<1somevar></1somevar>

In the eclipse key editor ive filtered for zen coding and unbound all of its 
keys except ctrl+e yet its still doing it!

For those interested I figure out how to disable tab expand abbreviation for DW 
CS5.

For XP: 
C:\Documents and Settings\yr_username\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 
CS5\en_US\Configuration\Menus\Menus.xml

Open up Menus.xml, scroll to line 120 and comment out <shortcut key="Tab" and 
done.

Sorry, I didn't really knew about this feature before these requests. The issue 
is fixed in version 0.7.5.
