Make enter key move to the next field like it did in the desktop version.

then we can just use the keypad.

    Current investigation determined that we are unable to use the Enter key to move from one field to the next based on our application architecture. We will continue to look for ways to make this work in the future.

    On the technical side it will require setting the correct tab order (in the hip/valley modules the tab order is all messed up) and using javascript to "listen" for Enter key presses and interpret them as Tab key presses to move the focus to the next field.

    I would LOVE THIS! I find the new web version very clumsy the way it is. I was so used to the enter key moving to next field in the other version. It was an automatic for me and now I have to always think about it.

    I agree but, I use the Tab to go from input to input and now it has to be tabbed twice instead of once. I assume this is the same fix.??

    Thanks for the idea. We weren't able to do this originally since the browser uses the Enter key to trigger other functionality. It now looks like other applications have gotten this to work so we will take another look and see what we can do.

    correction, then we could just use the numpad.
