Manual Meta Review Tab Key Not Working

[Simon Moakes]

Is it possible to fix the tab key when entering track info in the data fields of the Manual Meta Review window please?

Just tested, tab is working correctly now in our current pre-release build, we release next week.

Hi Spoon. I have downloaded Release 2025-07-07 (4) and the problem is still there. When in Manual Meta Review and you enter text in any field you press tab key to go to the next field but the cursor just disappears, so you have to manually mouse-click in the next field to get the cursor back :0(

Sorry, I should have mentioned that this problem does not occur in the main dBpoweramp CD Ripper window, but just the Manual Meta Review window. I have this installed on a iMac Pro.

Tab to navigate within the row, up/down to navigate between rows.

Hi PeterP, sorry to be a pain... just downloaded 2025-07-18 and it appears that the tab option has now stopped working altogether, but the up/down keys do now seem to work. Is there no way to have both the tab and up/down options working at the same time, or is it either one or the other? In the meantime I've reverted back to 2025-07-14

[Simon Moakes]

Just to give you the heads-up, in 2025-07-14 the up/down keys don't work at all, but the tab key does works until you get down to the fields in "Title 6", then the cursor just disappears when hitting the tab key.

[PeterP]

In first attempt, tabbing behavior was erratic if not all fields fit on screen.

I'm still researching different UI layout techniques for this window.

Feel free to keep using whichever of these build works best for you for now.

Thanks, PeterP!

Both tabs and cursors work now.
Still not perfect but better than previous ones, I think.

What about:
- select rows with up/down arrow keys
- enter to edit value in current row
- keyboard shortcuts for picking data from each provider, such as F1 F2 F3 F4
?

The way it is now, it's full of hacks and doesn't really comply with Apple UX guidelines.
