BUG: TAB to move focus to the next field or button...

Post by TsunamiZ »

In both "find" and "replace", when we type in a field and a drop down of history items automatically appears, it prevents us from pressing TAB to move focus to the next field or button. Instead, it is moving focus to the first drop down item, and then we have to press TAB a few more times to get past it. Please fix it so that when we press TAB, the drop down automatically closes and the focus seamlessly moves to the next field or button--which is standard behavior in other programs.

if you are talking about the autocompletion, if it shows up it means that you have started typing something first, so you must finish the job before moving to a different control. Using the keyboard, you either press ENTER to accept the edit, or ESC to cancel it. Then you can tab to other dialog controls
