Comment #2 originally posted by Alexey-Yakovenko on 2014-05-28T18:13:40.000Z: You can navigate with the keyboard, but using the arrow keys. Tab just takes you in and out of the metadata list. Spacebar takes you into an editable field. I haven't checked GTK2, is it the same as GTK3? There could be improvements to the keyboard navigation though. For example, the field name column will take focus but I don't think you can do anything with it, and the GTK search facility doesn't seem to do anything except display a little box when you type. |

This is right, but that's not the same behavior as TAB would show! :) To be able to navigate with arrow keys on an edited field, I always have to press RETURN first - this is awkward. |
Comment #4 originally posted by Alexey-Yakovenko on 2014-05-28T18:57:07.000Z: It's unlikely that this will get fixed / implemented, because it's using the standard GtkTreeView, and the Tab key behaviour is hardcoded in GTK. Changing it will break the application for many disabled users. And it's not unlikely that changing the Tab key behavior in an activated GtkCellRendererEditable is not possible without modifying GTK itself. |
Comment #5 originally posted by Alexey-Yakovenko on 2014-05-28T21:26:53.000Z: Hmmm. This doesn't sound too promising... |
out of date, and won't ever get implemented because of gtk limitations |

(This is an ENHANCEMENT)
It would be a very nice thing to have if we could navigate between fields (Artist/Title/Comment...) using the TAB key. (Though a long-time wish of mine, I wanted to bring up more important things first like the previous vfs_zip extract bug etc.).
The reason?
Well, when we correct Artist and Title because it's misspelled, we would do this with the keyboard. Hence it is a little awkward if we always have to use the mouse to advance to the field below and no alternative to use.
Thanks for considering (if so).
The following would be sufficient:
TAB - one field ahead
SHIFT-TAB - previous field (or first field, if old field (not Mike) was last)
