Set tab order between fields in hip/valley module

When entering Rafter Span and Roof Slope in the Hip/Valley beam module, it would great to be able to press "TAB" to go between those fields. Currently, when one presses "TAB", it goes to other menu items.


Ideal flow:

  1. User inputs Live and Dead loads.

  2. From "Dead" field, press "TAB" to go to "Intermediate Supports".

  3. Now press "TAB" to go to "Rafter Span".

  4. Now press "TAB" to go to "Roof Slope" 1.

  5. Now press "TAB" to go to "Roof Slope" 2.

  6. Now press "TAB" to go to "Rafter Span" 2.

    The above post is for the Valley module, for the Hip module it should be similar:

    1. Starting from "Dead" load field, press "TAB", go to "Intermediate Supports".

    2. "TAB" goes to "Rafter Run" on the left side.

    3. "TAB" goes to "Overhang" on the left side.

    4. "TAB" goes to "Roof Slope" on the left side.

    5. "TAB" goes to "Roof Slope" on the right/bottom side.

    6. "TAB" goes to "Rafter Run" on the right/bottom side.

    7. "TAB" goes to "Overhang" on the right/bottom side.
