Description
Expected Behavior
When a block has multiple input fields, pressing the tab key should move from one input to the next
Actual Behavior
The tab key appears to do nothing when the cursor is in an input field in a block in the palette. It works as expected in the regular workspace.
Steps to Reproduce
- Find the "go to x: {} y: {}" block in the blocks palette
- Click into the "x" field
- Press tab
System Details
Observed in both Chrome and Firefox. Behavior might be slightly worse in Firefox..?

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the blocks palette using the “go to x: {} y: {}” block, then compare its tab and focus behavior with the regular workspace where tab works. Trace the palette’s input and keyboard handling; done means pressing Tab moves from the x field to the y field in Chrome and Firefox.
