hi,
i also figured that out because i am using a screenreader.
the tags change into buttons when you have added them.
so thats why the tab flow gets broken.
greetings,
simon

I've recently been attempting to use TW5 instead of TWC and have
been
having a workflow problem related to using the keyboard.
I'm used to creating a tiddler using nothing but the keyboard. Type
the
title, tab, type the text, tab, type the tags and I'm finished: I
only
stray to the mouse at the very beginning and very end of the
process.
With TW5 there doesn't seem to be much concern about the focus. For
example, when I create a new tiddler, my mouse focus is off in the
sidebar
-- there is no realistic way to tab over to the tiddler I presumably
want
to edit as my immediately following action. Once I'm editing the
tiddler
tabbing from the title takes me to the tag field, which is fine, but
the
tab interface involves a pop-up with, as far as I can tell, no
keyboard
mechanism to cancel or complete it...Enter selects the currently
selected
tag, and tab just traverses the list, while Esc attempts to discard
the
entire new tiddler. As far as tag selection goes, once that pop-up
appears
there is no partial matching from the keyboard, mouse interaction
becomes
all but mandatory.
I try to avoid using the mouse as much as possible, both because the
keyboard is incalculably faster and because I have repetitive stress
issues
with my pointing device. TWC didn't interrupt my keyboarding any
more than
most modern desktop UIs do, but TW5 seems to be very
keyboard-unfriendly.
Is there some conscious UI design concept behind this? Is there some
way to
adjust focus, tabbing, and other UI behavior with a TW5 module or is
(as I
would assume) that level of behavior baked into the core? Does
anyone else
have these same issues?
