Hello!  
I am using the tab key when I create my cards. I can jump from “Front” to “Back” to “Add Reverse” to the tags and then to “add card” and then I hit enter and the card has been saved, but i just noticed that it jumps from tags straigt back to “Front”. So I have to add every card with my mouse which is a little bit inconvenient. I have been on summer break for the last 2 months so I can’t really tell you when it changed.  
I am using the version 2.1.54 (b6a7760c)⁩.

I hope that somebody can tell me how I can fix it so I can use the tab key to create my cards again. Thank you!

This has a solution here:

The newly designed Add applet does not allow to jump to the Add button with the tab key anymore. This is a step back in usability. Is there a way to get back to the old functionality?
