Is there a way to tab from one text field to the next on the screen? Some apps have multiple text entry fields (See link) and it would be handy to be able to jump to the next when hitting the RETURN key. Possible?

Hi there,
As there are no blocks to toggle whether a given Text Input is in focus, this isn’t possible to do at the moment.

Here is my suggestion, maybe these topics would be joined into 1 as well
