On my Front Panel I have mostly buttons. Buttons and a single Input box for typing serial number. That single Input box feels like a stumbling block to users who habitually TAB their way from widget to widget. They stumble because, after typing the serial number into the box, they can't TAB their way out. Instead (of course, to my way of thinking) the Input box accepts the TAB as a character (rather than interpret it as a command). It bothers some (unreasonably, to my way of thinking) that they should have to press Enter, rather than TAB, to exit that box. What they want is to press TAB and have the data be entered, plus take them to the next widget (a Button).
So my question here is, can I make that happen for them? Can I make TAB perform like Enter while inside an Input box? Or should I just insist they get used to Input boxes requiring Enter?
