Tab order and cursor position

Aug 15, 2016

I have a page with 8 numeric entry boxes. I've set the custom tab order for the slide so that these are the only items (apart from the prev and next buttons) that can be tab-accessed. I'd like to set it up so that if a user clicks in one field and then tabs, they will jump to the next field in sequence. However, cursor position and tab order seem to be independent - i.e. it doesn't matter where I click, the tab sequence is always the same. Is there a way to achieve the effect I want?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the question - it prompted a lively discussion among our team! The current set up will have the tab order respected regardless of where the user has clicked on the slide or in another text box. This is currently by design, and as Matthew mentioned you may want to share your thoughts on changes for this in the form of a feature request.
