+Move the cursor right to the next tab stop.
+
+A tab stop is a specifically marked column that a cursor stops when a tab
+is invoked. Tab stops are typically thought of as uniform spacing (i.e.
+four spaces) but in terminals this is not the case: tab stops can be set
+at any column number using the [tab set](#) and [tab clear](#)
+sequences.
+
+Initially, tab stops are set on every 8th column.
+
+## TODO
+
+  * Integration with left/right margins of the scrolling region.
+  * How does horizontal tab interact with the pending wrap state?
