On some fields tab moves to next field (eg Data/LO)

  • this is expected behaviour

On others it inserts a tab character (eg Label/L1)

  • this is unexpected behaviour

@sadikyo commented on GitHub (Sep 20, 2019):

I believe this is setup intentionally, because the ringcode fields can have tabs in them. I believe the idea is to get the data filled in to the txt/json as completely and accurately as possible. Including the actual tabs in the fields, makes it such that they can be later copied / submitted / imported (eventually, potentially) in a way that requires less processing. The trade-off for this is perhaps navigating the disc collection dialog, but it would just require clicking on the next field.
