The above is the HC behavior, to allow "tabbing" across fields. However, it also means you cannot add tabs. Perhaps we can make it behave that way ONLY if there are no other fields. @defano, please advise. Thanks!

I would propose the way to handle this is similar to how many text editors handle soft returns: If the user presses ctrl-tab, a tab character is inserted into the contents of the field but if they just press tab then HyperCard's normal behavior occurs.

Should be easy to implement, I'd think...

Yes, that's exactly how it should behave. I will take a look.
