Description Arcterex 2003-10-10 16:39:07 UTC 
Tab completion for the URL bar either isn't working yet or isn't working
well, IMHO.  It appears you have to use the down arrows to select
entries from the drop down completion instead of tab.  Any reason for
this?  Mozilla seems far more comfortable for me in this respect, as you
can just hit tab and go down the list that's dropped down, and ESC to
cancel the completion and go back to the URL bar.  This might be
something to do with being right handed and not wanting to move my right
hand from the mouse to the arrow keys, or moving my left hand over from
it's home position.

notabug...Tab completion will not be supported because it breaks a11y
keynav.

Hi, I think this is one of the most annoying and critical issues in epiphany, 
and I have read others having similar sentiments.  
 
This is practically a blocker UI issue for me, as the tab-selection or tab 
completion is a well-known UI feature across platforms and browsers.  
 
Just my $0.02. I hope that I can at least find out how to configure this 
feature for myself (faint hope maybe for something in prefs.js or something).  
 
Thanks,  
ChrisJ

Chris, I think it would be better to discuss this on gtk development
mailing list. I could reassign this bug to them but ... I think in
this case mailing list is just better, because accessibility people
will see it.
