Everything about Tab stop
Location at which typewriter carriage stops
A tab stop or tabulator position on a typewriter is a location where the carriage movement is halted by an adjustable end stop. Tab stops are set manually, and pressing the tab key causes the carriage to go to the next tab stop. In text editors on a computer, the same concept is implemented simplistically with automatic, fixed tab stops. Wikipedia →
