Anything is possible.
I do not think the TextEditor will do this by default but you could do the
following (as i myself have done in a few projects) ......

Copy the comp/src/gb.form.editor/.src folder into your own projects folder
(but not the "test" folder)
un-select gb.form.editor from your project properties components.

Now you can examine/study/edit the TextEditor imported into your project to
your hearts content and make it do anything.
(Mine has a keystroke recorder plus many other additions)

One of the best things I find about gambas is the ability to import various
components and edit them.

It's brilliantly set up to enable people to add their own custom features
that not every one may want so stops the main program being "bloated"

If it does not do something (unusual) that you want it to it is often
fairly simple to customize your own components :)
