VisualEditor: Reconsider template tool tabbing behaviour to go to the next field (not the info or remove buttons)
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

This is possibly by design, but I found it unexpected:

Use the Cite tool with any example having multiple fields to fill in, e.g. Website or Book.

Enter a field. Hit TAB.

I would expect the cursor to go to the next editable field, but instead the cursor highlights first the Field description icon, then the Remove field icon, and only after that moves to the next editable field. The user must tab three times to put the cursor into the next editable field.

Yeah, this is intentional, but maybe we should look again in case there is a way to provide the accessibility we need without being unhelpful to keyboard users.
