[lively-kernel] Tab index

[Robert Krahn]

Actually support for this exists but is not used. You can do
morph.enableFocus(tabIndex);

This will assign the tabIndex value to morph.renderContext().morphNode, see $world.browseCode('lively.morphic.Morph', 'setFocusableHTML', 'lively.morphic.HTML');

To use it e.g. for lively.morphic.PasswordInput or other inputs you will have to overwrite #setFocusableHTML. For the PasswordInput you will have to assign the index to the shapeNode since this is the actual input node.
