Hello everyone, while trying to check if clicking Tab would cycle through
different components of the app I found that it enters "\t" to the
translation in the editor tab, after which it is not possible to exit the
text box. However, you can cycle in reverse order using Shift+Tab.

I raised an issue and created an MR (linked below) for it. My though was
that clicking one button for Tab and two buttons for \t would not make much
difference, but I wanted to know a translators perspective on it.

Please let me know if this change is welcome.
