Now `Tab` only prevents its default browser behavior and no longer triggers that navigation.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis stops `Tab` from being treated as an extra pair of arrow keys in this component, which likely avoids surprising focus jumps for anyone using `Tab` for its usual purpose nearby.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Names: `Tab`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
