In some widgets, the Tab key is a special key. Those interfaces may absorb the tab key for their special purpose. For example, the CLI uses the Tab key as a special function. To exit the focus on the CLI, use 'ctrl+F6' on Windows and 'command+F6' on macOS. Certain widgets may not have a key combination to exit focus.
