Canvas to receive TAB key

[said]

Hi,

Perhaps the times are now for fixing bugs with the new 5.4 ... but it would be really nice to optionally allow canvas gadgets to receive the TAB key (in #PB_EventType_KeyDown for example); Right now pressing a tab over a canvas will move the focus to the next gadget and we have no chance to process tab keys inside the canvas gadget; This is badly needed when using canvas to create custom gadgets with user input

Thanks

Have you tried AddKeyboardShortcut(Tab) every time the gadget receives keyboard focus, and RemoveKeyboardShortcut(Tab) every time it loses focus?

Yes this is the only native work around that i could use but the issue is that once you call RemoveKeyboardShortcut(Tab) when exiting the canvas, then the tab key is no longer acting as expected in that window Would be enough if we can at least restore initial function of the TAB key on exiting the canvas .... i could not find a way on how this can be done If you/anyone have/has an idea, it would be appreciated

That must be a bug. It should be removable.
