TAB Key Advances to Next Input Field

TAB Key Advances to Next Input Field

It would be slick if the TAB key would advance to the next input field in a dialog box. Kinda like it does in other programs.

 

For example, if I'm entering a nodal force and I'm entering a custom direction it would be handy if I could enter the value in the 'X' direction, hit TAB, and have the curser advance to the 'Y' direction field.

I noticed this too.  I was adding a nodal force and I hit TAB to advance to the next field.  Imagine my surprise when, instead of having my cursor advance to the next field I heard a sharp "DING!" instead.  Thinking I had inadvertantly hit the wrong key I again hit TAB only to be rebutted with a second "DING!"  Surprise turned to frustration as I repeatedly hammered the TAB key releasing a cacaphony of "DINGS!" Seriously, it sounded like that old guy in the wheelchair on Breaking Bad who can only ring the bell.
