--- Comment #9 from Niklas Merz <niklasmerz at apache.org> ---
I can give an example how this affects our app. We are working on an enterprise app with many different forms with lots of inputs item. Imagine a for where you enter contact information like: name, company, street, city etc. Most of our forms have can have dozens intputs as a list. So the user enters the first input an enters information. No they click on the up and down arrows of the accessory bar of the keyboard and nothing happens. Users would expect the focus cursor to jump to the next input just below.

Apps that use Ionic just like ours all will have this problem for their forms, because Ionic uses shadow DOM for almost all their components. An Ionic input element is using shadow DOM and may be one of the most used components because it styles an HTML input just like a native input. That's why Ionic is popular for app devs and probably many enterprise CRUD apps that work like ours with many input fields in forms.

I hope that gives a perspective. Fixing this would really improve the UX of apps built with Ionic.
