Beschreibung

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.
