Add Tab key sub-bulleting functionality to text editors

Currently, when composing messages or replying to tickets in the Intercom text editor on tickets, pressing the Tab key does not indent the current line to create a nested sub-bullet. Creating nested lists (like a bullet point underneath a numbered step) requires clunky manual workarounds.

 

Similar to almost all standard rich text editors (Google Docs, Word, Zendesk, etc.), pressing Tab while on a list item should automatically indent the line and create a sub-bullet.

Support agents frequently need to write out clear, step-by-step troubleshooting instructions using numbered lists, often requiring additional details, warnings, or sub-steps (bullet points) underneath a specific number. Not having a quick keyboard shortcut to indent disrupts the workflow a little bit.

I know this is a small issue but I would love to see this enhancement. Thank you!
