That is not going to change.

I have not suggested that should change, and I am not aware that anyone else has.
My position is that Tab should not move the focus between windows. A tab within F&R should stay in F&R (i.e. stay in its lane), it should not change focus to other windows… especially with no obvious visible indication of doing so.
If a user wants to give focus to CV, or any other window they should click in it, or make use of the
new Give Focus to XXXX menu action/shortcut feature (why no buttons ?).
I'd be surprised if any Sigil user deliberately uses the Tab key to move between Sigil's windows. I also suspect its not a by-design feature, more likely it's an unfortunate by-product of poor design.
