Implement tab input method in RIDE #1253

Description

@PixelSergey

Describe the issue you are having

TryAPL and other online APL editors allow users to input glyphs using the tab input method.
Examples:

  • can be inputted using the key combination < - TAB
  • can be inputted using the key combinatoin = = TAB
  • Etc.

This is a very useful feature, since many glyphs in RIDE do not have a prefix method of inputting and must be selected with a mouse using the language bar.

Did you connect to an already running interpreter or start the interpreter from Ride?

Start the interpreter from RIDE / irrelevant

How do you reproduce the issue?

Attempt to do a tab input key combination as described above
