### Steps to reproduce - Have a pane open in edit mode - Click vertical tripple dot - Choose “Delete file” - Repeatedly press “Tab” key - Tabs are written into underlying file ### Expected result Ideally, tab would navigate among available options/buttons. Associated request: [Keyboard shortcuts for dialog modals](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/keyboard-shortcuts-for-dialog-modals/109) But most importantly, Dialogue should block modification of underlying window as described in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal\_window](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modal_window) ### Actual result By use of keyboard, unexperienced user can cause a lot of unnoticed edits / data-destruction in greyed-out underlying window. ### Environment - Operating system: Windows 7 - Obsidian version: 0.10.6 ---
