In form I have components ListView,TreeView and Synedit. I go with Tab
key from other controls to Synedit control but when Synedit is focused
it handles Tab and I don't go away from component. Which option I must
set?

Default WantTabs is false. Regardless I set to true or false, tab is
used to editor. Error in synedit?
Code: [Select]procedure TCustomSynEdit.WMGetDlgCode(var Msg:
TWMGetDlgCode);
begin
  inherited;
  Msg.Result := DLGC_WANTARROWS or DLGC_WANTCHARS or DLGC_WANTALLKEYS;
  if fWantTabs and (GetKeyState(VK_CONTROL) >= 0) then
    Msg.Result := Msg.Result or DLGC_WANTTAB;
end;

Remove the tab from SynEdit.KeyStrokes (pos 90/91)

Then it will work.

Note, the default for WantTab ay (or may not) change, in order to
minimize impact of fixing this.

If it changes this will affect your existing app(as it would follow
the default. So in that case, you will have to update your SynEdits.

More later.
