Hello,
We're still using 7.0RC2 - PowerEdition whilst waiting for 8.1.
On many of our forms, we arrange form icons next to drop down lists (such as "+" to add another item, a looking glass to open the referred-to item in a separate tab, etc). Often, our users need to be fast in data entry so use keyboard navigation and not the mouse, tabbing over fields to edit quickly.
However, we've had feedback from users that this isn't good enough. We tried a well-known trick, setting the tabindex to -1, and this works for fields (they get skipped in tab-navigation). But this doesn't solve our problem, we don't want to skip the fields, we want to skip the FormIcons next to them... and there doesn't seem to be a way to control the tabindex, so we ALWAYS "tab over" them.
Is it possible to do this in our version (something we missed)? If not, can it be added in time for 8.1 ?
Thanks,
