Hi, You simply interact with the text or turn quick nav off. This is nothing to do with keyboard commander, which is what caused the confusion. If you have your tab key set to auto-interact, then when you tab into a field you can just type without doing anything, and for secure edit fields, it does turn it off automatically for you. I think extending this ability to normal edit fields would be a good accessibility suggestion, as long as it's an option as you often want to navigate through a field without it turning off. Given that interacting with quick nav is merely pressing down and right at the same time, I don't find it too bad at all though
