Why did you change this?

this is changed to match the Tasks of focusing on entry table after pressing tab from the pull request #9863

Is it still possible to navigate away from the entry table? I would see tab as cycling though different ui components: Main menu entries, groups, main table, entry editor, ...

It should be possible to focus these elements using quick shortcut. Alr+1 was such a shortcut.

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding of the issue:
Tab and Shift Tab are coming from the operating system and mean:
Tab: Forward navigation between controls
Shift + Tab: Backwards navigation between controls

The guy means: If you have the entry editor open, pressing shift + tab should navigate to the group. And if your focus is on the group; Navigation with tab should go forward to the
But I think this might be difficult. It depends on the order of the Nodes in the javafx scencegraph. Focus model etc.
I would rather add two extra shortcuts (like you did), but with separate shortcuts: like alt+1 or alt+2

Hi Siedlerchr, we can use alt + 1 to focus on the entry table (like before) and alt + 2 to focus on the group list

I think the reporter @DvP17 at #9863 really meant a proper Tab cycling order. I agree, however, that this is very difficult to implement. A workaround using Alt+1 and Alt+2 is OK for me.

Note that the hotkey system was revised at #1525. Updated at #1605.

Keys - new Keys - old Function

F7 alt + f Automatically set file links

F8 ctrl + shift + F7 Cleanup entries

alt + 1 ctrl + shift + E Focus entry table

alt + 2 ctrl + F9 Toggle entry/preview editor

alt + 3 ctrl + shift + G Toggle groups

alt + 4 F5 web search

alt + 0 - Open Openoffice/LibreOffice connection

ctrl + shift + F7 ctrl + f4 Synchronize file links

ctrl + shift R - Technical report

- alt + P Print entry preview

- ctrl + alt + T Hide/show toolbar

- ctrl+P Edit preamble

Maybe, we should think about propr key binding defaults. Alt+Number is used for both toggle and focus in the implementation of 2016.

Note that we have a blog article on a revised hotkey system in 2016: https://blog.jabref.org/2016/08/15/HotkeyRevision/

alt +1 and alt +2 are no longer used

Casting can be omitted by the new pattern matching feature of java

Suggested change

for (Node child : getChildren()) {

if (child instanceof GroupTreeView) {

((GroupTreeView) child).requestFocusGroupTree();

break;

}

}

for (Node child : getChildren()) {

if (child instanceof GroupTreeView groupTreeView) {

groupTreeView.requestFocusGroupTree();

break;

}

}

casting has been replaced by pattern matching
