I'm used to the tab key moving the focus to the next field. It would annoy me if on one website it didn't, I'm sure.
- sheraz 15y agoUpvoted, and I agree. Breaking tab functionality is a no-go on forms used for repetitive data entry. It is probably OK for a contact form and other WYSIWYG edit boxes, but please use it judiciously.
