Description

When using an iPad, the tab key on the on-screen-keyboard will succesfully move between entry controls. Unfortunately, when using an external keyboard, the tab key does not work.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a new "Hello World" MAUI App
  2. Add two Entry controls to the MainPage.xaml
  3. Run the App, focus on one of the Entry controls
  4. Use the tab key on the On-Screen-Keyboard to switch between the Entry controls
  5. Attach an external keyboard via Bluetooth
  6. Attempt to use the tab key to switch between the Entry controls - nothing happens.
