 ### Added
 
+- We added a way to navigate through Tabs in Entry Editor by pressing "tab" when the last TextField of a Tab is in focus. [#11937](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11937)
 - We added a "view as BibTeX" option before importing an entry from the citation relation tab. [#11826](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/issues/11826)
 - We added probable search hits instead of exact matches. Sorting by hit score can be done by the new score table column. [#11542](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/11542)
 - We added support finding LaTeX-encoded special characters based on plain Unicode and vice versa. [#11542](https://github.com/JabRef/jabref/pull/11542)
