[RAC Feature Request]: Opt-in single tab stop for DatePicker / DateField / TimeField #9743
Description
Provide a general summary of the feature here
Introduce an opt-in prop for date and time field components that implements a single tab stop pattern.
🤔 Expected Behavior?
- Tab: Moves focus into the field (landing on the first segment or the entire input).
- Arrow Left / Right: Moves focus between the internal segments (like it does now already)
- Tab (again): Exits the field and moves to the next focusable element in the DOM.
😯 Current Behavior
Users have to press Tab key 3 to 4 times to navigate through a single date or time field.
🔦 Context
In data-entry heavy applications, requiring users to press the Tab key 3 to 4 times to navigate through a single date / time field causes significant "Tab fatigue." For power users filling out large forms, this default segmented tabbing behavior severely slows down keyboard navigation compared to standard text inputs.
