Is there a way to setup a “tab order” in perspective. I have 20 some numeric entries on a page and when I press tab I jump all over the place. I tried adding a prefix to each components name (0-26_ComponentName) but that didn’t seem to help either. Is there any way to do without having to restructure everything I already have?
There is an open feature request to configure this, but the current approach is to manipulate the z-index of input components such that they are in the order you want the tabbing to follow. Long-term we will most likely introduce something like Component.meta.tabIndex which would allow for specifying the order of components.
No, I never got it working. I haven’t put much time into it since I originally asked but it never worked as I intended. It hasn’t been priority enough for me to revisit again.
@cmallonee Any update on ETA on this? I’ve got a heavy form based application and the end user is asking for better control of tabbing through the form when entering data.
If I remember correctly, the tabbing from one component to the next is predicated by their order in the project browser, so if you’re using a coordinate container you can just place all of the input components as the last components in their respective level. If you’re not using a coordinate container, or you have nesting going on, then there’s nothing you can do as of right now.
