Qt Designer's Tab Order Mode

Setting the Tab Order

To enter tab order mode, open the Edit menu and select Edit Tab Order. In this mode, each input widget in the form is shown with a number indicating its position in the tab order. So, if the user gives the first input widget the input focus then presses the tab key, the focus will move to the second input widget, and so on.

The tab order is defined by clicking on each of the numbers in the correct order. You can set the first widget in the tab order by double-clicking on it. After this has been done, click on another widget to make it the second in the tab order, set the third with the next click, and so on until you are satisfied. If you make a mistake, simply double click to set the first widget, and start again.
