4. How did we do ?
● Auto-select buttons on every
screen

views with UP/DOWN
● Allow going from search view
to list/kanban content and
create
● Focus the search view by
default on all actions
● Add aria-* metadata on most
templates
● Navigate from any field to field
x2many

automatically add a new line
● Completely redo the
navigation with TAB in x2many

action button on TAB at the
end of a form

a form in edit mode
