In jEdit 4.1, the "indent on enter" and "indent on tab" settings were removed. Now, the behavior of the ENTER and TAB keys can be configured in the Shortcuts pane of the Global Options dialog box, just as with any other key. The ENTER key can be bound to one of the following commands, for example:

- Insert Newline
- Insert Newline and Indent (default)

The TAB key can be bound to one of these commands:

- Insert Tab
- Insert Tab or Indent (default)
- Indent Selected Lines

Custom behavior can also be implemented by binding these keys to macros, etc.
