    In Xamarin.Forms UWP, I have noticed that when clicking the tab key to navigate between input controls, tab only navigates into C1ComboBoxes some of the time. I have found that it will work if I have given focus to the C1ComboBox by clicking into it like I were to start typing. However, if I just select an item in the C1ComboBox’s dropdown, then tab will not navigate into the C1ComboBox. Hopefully what I am saying makes sense. Is this by design? Or is this a limitation of UWP?

    Hi Jared

    This is something we’re working on improving for v1. We’ll add some basic keyboard handling for the input controls in that release to allow you to do things like select and item from a dropdown using the arrow keys, but we’ll take a look at the tab behavior too.

    Thanks

    Thanks, Kelley.

    Any idea on when that update may be released?

    We’re targeting mid March for the release. So it’s roughly 6 weeks away (subject to maybe move a week or two depending on some other factors).
