How to order fields for Tab (to next field)

[Jeff Timp]

I have a bento document that I’m continuing off of and have added a few additional fields, and now I would like to order them to be able to use the “Tab” keyboard key command to go to the next field to the right in the visual layout display (the view with the background). Is this possible? Currently the Tab key does jump to another field, but I cannot figure out how to control which one it goes to next.

p.s. Thank you so much for developing this software! I spent a lot of time building my Bento database so to be able to not loose this data and continue to develop the document is AWESOME!! Thank you so much!!!

Hi Jeff,

You can control the tab order by first displaying the layout inspector panel on the right. Then click the Tab Order button which looks like -|. It’s at the top of the layout canvas area. When you click on it, numbers will be displayed next to your layout items. Click the number and type in a new number. Press Return to accept the new number.

There’s instructions in the online user manual for this:

Look for the section titled To adjust the tab order of your fields
