Hi all,

Been banging my head against the wall, especially because all my searches came up negative.

Question is simple :

  1. Have bunch of fields
  2. I press TAB key

Outcome : I get a tab jump in my field
Expected : I want to jump to the next available field

I remember reading about this, but cannot find it anymore. This is Godot 3.

Answer :
Through the discord I learned that a way to do this is to have each text field in a container

So :
Container

  • myAwesomeTextfield
    Container
  • anotherReallyNiceTextfield

Scenetree setup
Example

That should give the intended effect.
