Hello everyone, while trying to check if clicking Tab would cycle through d=
ifferent components of the app I found that it enters "\t" to the translati=
on 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.=20

I raised an issue and created an MR (linked below) for it. My though was th=
at clicking one button for Tab and two buttons for \t would not make much d=
ifference, but I wanted to know a translators perspective on it.=20

Please let me know if this change is welcome.=20
