Tab bar grabs <Control>-Tab preventing keyboard accessibility
The Gnome docs suggest using <Control>-<Tab>
to move focus between controls via the keyboard in GTK apps
https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/keyboard-nav.html.en
But <Control>-Tab
is now utilised by the Tab bar to move between tabs (this is also available via -PageUp/Down.
AFAICT this means any app using libAdwaita Tab Bar together with some form of text entry (eg G-T-E) loses the ability to move between different controls using the keyboard?
-
<Tab>
is grabbed by the text entry -
<Control>-<Tab>
is grabbed by the Tab Bar
This can be seen in the included libadwaita demo app
- Launch the tab bar demo
- Add some tabs
- Focus a text area and start typing
- Try to shift keyboard focus to the Header Bar controls using only the keyboard?
