Basically only need to validate when typed Tab     and add a tab (\t).

$(document).delegate('#textarea', 'keydown', function(e) {
  var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;

  if (keyCode == 9) {
    e.preventDefault();
    var start = this.selectionStart;
    var end = this.selectionEnd;

    $(this).val($(this).val().substring(0, start) + "\t" +
    $(this).val().substring(end));

    this.selectionStart =
    this.selectionEnd = start + 1;
  }
});
#textarea {
  width: 500px;
  height: 200px
}

<textarea id="textarea"></textarea>
