Description Peter Sampson 2020-03-30 12:16:03 UTC

On Mac in the Label editor tabbing will journey you through the input fields, but Ctrl+Tab does not transfer focus to the action buttons as it should.

See: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT204434
where it states:
>Move to the next control when a text field is selected     Control-Tab


Cmd+Tab does not work either

Testing on macOS 10,15.6 with Audacity 3.0.0 25ddfc7

One can now properly tab to the control buttons
