Pressing TAB at the end of a listing brings me to the top...

While creating a listing, pressing TAB while in the final form field (Shipping weight ounces) brings my cursor to the listing title. I would rather be brought to highlight the "List Item" button. What's the deal? How can we get this changed? Am I alone on this gripe?

What's the deal?

 

As a software engineer, I remember a decade ago the "tab order" on a web page was of critical importance - it was something that was detailed in the specifications, programmed carefully by developers, and exhaustively tested by the QA department. 

 

But with the evolution of browsers and the advent of touch and mobile, it is pretty much assumed that the default order the browser assigns (based on the position of the elements) is sufficient. I do not think I have been asked to adjust the tab order on a web page in five years at least.

I've been using a keyboard for twenty years. I've never once used the tab key. It's one of the few keys on my keyboard that's not worn blank.

 

I always wondered what it did lol

I RARELY use the TAB key on a keyboard, so it's nice to know pressing it takes you to the top of the listing, so I don't have to scroll with my mouse.

Oh, my goodness. I am constantly making lists of things to do, things to not do, things I should have done, things I will never do. If I didn't have a tab key, how would I indent all my lists?

 

Every now and then, it really throws me that these comment boxes don't accept a tab. What? How can I present a logical comment without being able to create an outline without a tab key?  😂
