GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 355405
Add a way to define the tab order
Last modified: 2021-07-05 10:53:19 UTC
There is currently no way to specify a custom tab order. We should probably add this feature, though I'd like to hear of an actual example where it's useful. I worry that custom tab orders might be confusing to users who don't expect them and don't know that their developer specified them. Please describe an example here if you know of one.
Note also that we _might_ want to add a tab-means-navigation option to multi-line text fields, because they usually need ctrl-tab to navigate away, so that the user can actually enter tab. Or we might change it so that ctrl-tab adds a tab, and tab navigates. That would be confusingly different than normal GTK/GNOME multi-line text fields, with a negative impact on impaired users who depend on consistent accessibility, but _maybe_ it's worth it.
Note also that the tab order currently seems to ignore the group columns in the details view. It always goes across instead of going down first.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glom/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
