Tabs go to next blank in Indexing

For those who use "copy text from selected field to all following matching fields", it would be nice if a feature (that could be toggled on and off) would be to make the TAB key go to the next BLANK field rather than whatever the next field is.


This would eliminate the need to have to mash the TAB key 10 times between records to skip all of the common fields.

    Hi Aaron.. Good idea.

    You may know all of the following, but in case not and for those who don’t, I’ll offer it up. As a possible workaround, IF you use Form Entry Mode and are indexing, you can hide those common, “auto filled” fields once you’re happy with them. See the three dote “more” indicator. If you’re reviewing you can’t hide fields, but once you’re convinced that they are correct, you can, in Form Entry mode only, reorder the fields to move (drag and drop) those verified auto filled ones to the bottom of the form, where you don’t have to see and deal with them again
