Keyboard navigation more difficult when editing items under v4

I notice that as soon as one reaches a larger field, the Tab key stops moving from field to field, and instead starts inserting tabs. It would be more useful if the Tab key consistently moved to the next field, as in v3. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion, @1pw80.

Control-Tab and Shift-Control-Tab will navigate forward/backward out of multi-line text fields. I hope that's helpful for now.

Hi @sjk!

While I hope it is only a temporary solution, I very much appreciate it! Given that inserting actual tabs in those fields would be (I assume) a relative rarity, I am hoping that the old behavior may one day be restored.

Hi again, @1pw80!

The current behavior seems more consistent with Full Keyboard Access usage (even if disabled). From Apple's OS X keyboard shortcuts article:

Tab             Move to the next control
Control-Tab     Move to the next control when a text field is selected

Being able to insert tabs using the Tab key is useful for indented formatting in multi-line notes fields. But it rarely (if ever) is useful/desirable in other multi-line fields.
