FingerText should allow to choose a different trigger key other than the tab key #47

Why? Because when you are working on a large file (let's say, over 5000 lines of code or more) and you just press the TAB key with the idea of just doing that (adding a tab to your code) FingerText kicks in and tries to find triggertexts and hotspots thus slowing the simple operation of just adding a tab. When I code away I use the tab key a lot just to indent my code properly and I want this to be fast. When FingerText is on and the file is large this simple operation is slow on machines that are so-so (like old laptops etc).

By the way, I tried to disable FingerText and when you do it the TAB key does not work at all (Notepad++ would not add a tab to the code; it would do nothing whatsoever).

A solution would be to be able to choose a different key for FingerText other than the tab key (maybe the CTRL key or whatever you choose). I guess most people would stick with the TAB key anyway.

What do you think?

Totally agree... It would be useful.
