| #### Tab islands | ||
|
|
||
| We're introducing a concept we're calling "tab islands" within the CMS. Tab islands are any region that can be tabbed to, navigated using the arrow keys, and then tabbed out of. This allows users to easily skip over regions by simply pressing tab twice - once to tab into the island and once to tab back out again. |

| We've implemented roving tabindex for complex UI regions. These areas now act as a single tab stop, allowing users to navigate internal items with arrow keys and skip the entire section with a single tab. This aligns with standard ARIA practices for keyboard-accessible navigation." |
The way this was written it sounds like we invented this concept :-) It's a standard pattern.
While tab island is nicer to say and is more intuitive IMO, it's not the official term
