When creating/linking an entity in a Rich Text field (via typing `"#"`), there are keyboard navigation issues in the resulting entity-chooser popup: 1. Creating a new entity: after selecting a Type in the right pane with the mouse (required!), the keyboard focus is lost, so you cannot hit `Enter` to create the new entity. 2. Although I can select an existing entity OK with just the keyboard, creating a _new_ entity requires using the mouse to select the Type šŸ˜’. _Please consider changing the function of the_ `Tab` _key here to switch the keyboard focus to the right pane ā€œFilter Typesā€ field, and then allow cursor up/down/Enter to navigate through the resulting filtered list of Types to select one to create._ ---

Since I am out of votes here, I can only ā€œsecondā€! šŸ˜„ And I think tab order improvements in general are still needed: > [@Improvement to Tab order? (keyboard field navigation)](https://community.fibery.io/t/approved-improvement-to-tab-order-keyboard-field-navigation/966): > > Although I am not a keyboard shortcut zealot, I do like to keep hands on the keyboard when possible as it speeds interaction in many cases. I am finding that, in trying to fill out information in Entity forms (Fields), it is taking a lot longer than it needs to as there appear to be functions of each Field that are being ā€œselectedā€ by tabbing, but are not actually operable, nor what I want to be moving to next. In my opinion tab should move consecutively between data entry mode for each field, lā€¦ ---

Haha, yes indeed, Iā€™ve been shuffling my votes around, back and forth ever since the voting option was introduced šŸ¤Ŗ
