Deprecate tabbing between text input fields #8792

Description

@microbit-matt-hillsdon

When an field input is focussed (after pressing Enter), Blockly core has tab handling for certain fields. I can use this to tab between numeric and text fields across the workspace.

It entirely skips some fields (dropdowns, custom fields) and is problematic for others (MakeCode has a true/false switch that is toggled in response to the tab - perhaps this can be addressed separately).

How do folks see this feature sitting alongside keyboard navigation?

In its current state I think it's more harmful than helpful.
