Is the canvas tab order backwards?

newbie-question

#1

Hi Folks,

when pages (or widgets) open in the canvas, the tab for that page appears at the start of the tab order.
In every other IDE I have ever used (and I’ve used a lot) the tabs appear on the right hand end as you open new ones.
I know I can drag them about but having them appear at the start seems backwards to me.

Is it switchable? I couldn’t find a pref.
I’m using the latest RP 8 Pro Edition.

Regards,
Neil.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the canvas tab order. This setting isn’t customizable, but that could definitely be a nice improvement to the tool, especially for users who have a similar background as you describe. I’ll be filing this with our product management team for review. Thanks again!

Making this configurable would be very very nice. It annoys the crap out of me. Adobe, Microsoft, etc etc. all open new pages/canvases at the end of the order.

any news on this improvement. Tab order is important for accessibility as well as for speed users.
