Unable to use Tab Key in Note Field

After installing the new version; replacing version 7.9.828,
I am no longer able to use the tab key within the Note Field, for spacing.

Now, when the tab key is pressed, it takes me to the Next Field; Tags.

I'd rather not hit the space bar, as this method of spacing is not uniform.

Is there a solution to this issue?

    I would also be in favor or restoring the previous usage aka :
    TAB == tab into the note field
    CTRL+TAB == Switching field within the item.

    Hi PeterG_1P, thank you for a speedy reply. I agree, keyboard-oriented workflows are important.
    In the latter version, 7.9.828, you would use the Ctrl+Tab to navigate from the Note Field to the Tag Field.

    I look forward to hear what the fruits of your request bear. Thank you for looking into this!

    Hi RSFerris, thank you for this question. I believe the reason you're encountering this behavior is that the Tab key is assigned to cycle through fields in a given item. This is consistent (and I think potentially important to have an option like this for folks who use keyboard-oriented workflows), but I'd like to see if there's anything we can do on our end to improve this situation for your use case. I have filed a request for our developers to discuss this. Thank you for highlighting the issue!
