You should be able to use the TAB key to go between text fields to quickly enter text.

For example, if renaming several tracks, you should be able to double-click to rename, then hit TAB to confirm text entry and proceed to the following track. As of now, TAB will select the next track name but will not accept/save the previous text entry.

This goes for any UI element with multiple text fields (for example, Add Device under External Devices -- the Manufacturer and Device Name fields should be able to be tabbed between)

This is a pretty basic feature that already exists in Pro Tools and Logic.

Tabbing through text fields regressed in Studio One 3.5.1.   That will be corrected in the next release.

I agree.wholeheartedly. This was a feature I used all the time. I believe that it has changed since v3.5. I've been struggling ever since with filling multiple name on tracks, channels, and in the mastering page too.

Now I have to press enter, then grab the mouse to focus on the next field, then double click to open that up, where as I could just hitting tab.

It was simple, but such a time saver.

Please bring it back.
