           Summary: [Gtk] Links should be Tab-focusable by default
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jdiggs at igalia.com


WK2 has a setting to enable/disable the Tab-focusability of links. As discussed via IRC, this should be enabled by default.

< xc0ffee> joanie: probably you need to set this property to true, if you want to navigate to links pressing tab..
< xc0ffee> joanie: its false by default..

[...]

< xc0ffee> joanie: we can change it to true, if required.. Martin?
< joanie> in other words, I think the "normal/expected" behavior is that links are tab-focusable
< msanchez> joanie: agreed, at least in the gtk port that was the expected behaviour so far, so I would keep it

[...]

< msanchez> other option is just to make sure that browsers using wk2 take care of enabling this feature, but that would  not be consistent with what browsers WK2 do
< msanchez> mrobinson, xc0ffee: what do you think?
< joanie> so what shipping browsers lack tab-focusable links?
< xc0ffee> joanie: msanchez: makes sense to turn this property true by default for me..
<+mrobinson> joanie: No, it's a switch that they make sure to flip.

[...]

<+mrobinson> xc0ffee: Seems reasonable to add it to WebKitSettings and have it flipped on by default.
