F3 calls up the Filter bar putting the focus is on some invisible control on the bar, rather than the Field - the first visible one - as expected. And there's no way to move it ti 'invert' - TAB takes it around Field, Filter and this invisible control, only.

This "invisible control" is the file view (just press the arrow-down key to select the first file).
I'll fix the tab order to the next release. Thanks for reporting!

Coo... so it is. I see no focus indicator, and the filelist selection highlight disappears. I can't see the advantage of Filter bar opening doing this move of the focus within the filelist.
Tag Panel opening moves it to the Tag Panel. I suggest it would good for Filter bar opening to do likewise.

Thanks. You could also add Filter: and invert: keys! 😉

You're welcome!

Actually I've just noticed the Field: key doesn't work. I.e. with Filter: in focus, ALT+i doesn't go to F\_i\_eld.

Fixed the tab issue with Mp3tag v2.40. Shortcut keys will be added with the next release.

Confirmed i.e. that the tab sequence now includes invert.
