Thanks for the reminder.

With the setting checked it works as you describe. I don't mind that does a pseudo edit rather than a skip, in fact I think I prefer it. My only suggestion would be to shorten the displayed string to "template".

To remind myself of what my issue was, I did a test before I set the Tab key doesn't… preference, and I noticed the Template Editor has accelerator keys for OK and Cancel. It would be nice if that was replicated in the standalone long text (comments) editor.
