Manual Journal page - TAB after date should go to auto reverse date
Come on Xero, this should be the flow already, the tab position after entering the date should go to the reversing date, we accountants enter a lot of manual journals that are reversed and it is a pain in the **** to have to mouse click on the auto reverse date to be able to enter the date...
This is a easy fix, this is just the tab index in the page...

Thanks for sharing this great idea, Leandro. We can see how changing the keyboard tab order on the Manual Journal screen would make entering reversing journals more efficient.
We've moved your idea to the 'Gaining Support' stage. This means it's now visible to the wider Xero community, who can vote and add comments to show their support. This collective feedback is a key way our product team gauges demand for new features.
While your idea is gaining support, we wanted to share a couple of other related ideas that you and other supporters might be interested in:
- There's an existing idea to have the reversing journal automatically update when the original journal is edited. You can find it here: Manual Journals - Editing journal with auto-reversal to update related journal/s
- For a potential workaround in the meantime, some users explore third-party browser extensions which can offer more customised keyboard navigation. If you're passionate about improving keyboard efficiency in general, you may also want to vote for the broader idea: Navigation - More keyboard shortcuts in Xero
Thanks again for your contribution and engagement here!

I commented some time ago, that this box needed to be tabbed to. It makes no sense that you have to manually click on it. If you don't need it you just tab on past it. It really needs to be able to be tabbed to

If you tab through the new journal entry, you can't tab to anything past the actual entry, either - no add a new line, no save as draft, no post, no cancel. If you've pressed enter in one of the entry lines to enter data, it adds new lines when you tab through instead of tabbing to the buttons at the bottom of the entry. This is appallingly not Accessible!

Journal entries - You can tab from box to box, but it doesn't tab from the Date box to the Auto Reverse Date box. It would be so handy if it did and ave time. If you don't want it you would just tab on to the next box. At the moment, you have to manually click on the box each time you want it
