            Bug ID: 131970
           Summary: LO Create hyperlink → Jump to the correct field by
                    keyboard with TAB?
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
░▒▓ Hello, everybody ▓▒░

I work a lot with hyperlinks in LibreOffice documents. Since some updates,
creating them has become unnecessarily "complicated", because I can't work only
with the keyboard anymore.

I always create hyperlinks with "Ctrl+K" and then use the menu that appears.

In the past I used to insert the link, then jumped with a few TABs into the
"Text" field, added my text to it and then pressed ENTER. → "simple" way

If I now do that in the latest version 6.4 it jumps from the "URL" field to the
"Help" button. If I press ENTER now it is clear what happens :). So in the
current version (which runs really great!) I have to grab the mouse and click
into the field "Text" to get the desired result.

I am actually on LO 6.4.3.1, but this was also a few Versions ago so.
I think this was changed with the new Hyperlink Editor.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Calc, Writer or any othe document and add a Hyperlink "example with "CTRL+K"
2. add a link into the "URL" field
3. press TAB to jump into the nex needed field example "Text"
4. instead of jumping to the next input field, the "TAB" key unfortunately
jumps to the buttons like "help"

Actual Results:
always the same @work @privat and other computers running on Windows 10
other OS not tested

Expected Results:
I think the majority of users use "hyperlinks" in combination with "text" and
exactly this creation has now become more complicated.
It would be great if the Hyperlink Editor could work in this steps:
1. CTRL+K
2. opens directly in the URL field (like in the moment)
3. press "TAB" → jumps directly into the "Text" field
4. press "ENTER" → Hyperlink created succesfully

something else: would it be possible that LO remembers the previously entered
"texts" in the text field more or less an auto-completion for repeated texts?
Because we process parts lists and the suppliers repeat themselves, we would
not have to enter the same names regularly.


Reproducible: Always
