Hi @MattEbert94 welcome to the community.

You can use .focus() for requesting a components focus. See here: [Perspective Request Focus in Window - #3 by cmallonee](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-request-focus-in-window/26899/3)

You might have to add some scripting to do some actions based on Enter or Tab, and then you can .focus() in your script to achieve your goal.
