Problems using TAB to move cursor between cel

I`m using FCKeditor 2.0.1 with Plone 2.0.5.
In a table inserted in a document, I need the cursor
move itself between the cells when I press the TAB
keyboard but what occurs is the cursor don't move to
next cell, but the table is selected. This occurs in
Internet Explorer. In Mozilla, the cursor moves between
cells, but when the cursor is in the last cells and I
press TAB a new row is inserted in the table.
This behavior is correct or this is a bug?
If a bug, could somebody tell me what I must do to
resolve this?

That seems to be the default behaviour in both IE and Firefox while editing pages, so if you don't like it you must create the code to behave however you like, it isn't anything that FCKeditor is doing on purpouse.

Thanks for awswer.
Can I modify FCKeditor code to alter this behaviour? Any clue?

I don't think that it will be easy, you must really code so that on each keypress check if it's the Tab (and sometimes special keystrokes don't follow the normal rules) in order to prevent the default action, check if it is inside a cell, and then using parentNode and nextSibling find the next cell or if it's at the end of a row the first cell of the next row, and then put the cursor there.

It might be doable, but it isn't just changing a config option as this is done by the browser itself.
