Hi @tang-nn. I just pushed out an entire menu system that allows you use the tab key to manage table focus. Are you talking about if you have an open menu, using the tab key to go to the next cell and have the cell edit menu opened automatically?

I would like to see the TAB key to be used while editing a field to move to the next field to edit. ATM it looks like you have to first click on a cell to edit, then enter to finish, then tab to go to the next field. This makes entering data into new tables fairly painful for me (maybe others too). Tab to move to next cell when editing seems to be common in many spreadsheet applications as well.

I just discovered Dataloom, and it's great! But this is my main pain point as well. It would be great if pressing TAB would work when in edit mode. Additionally I would expect SHIFT + TAB to do the reverse, but that doesn't seem to work.

This single fix would change the whole plugin for me from unusable to awesome. Right now, entering Data is just cumbersome.
