Pressing <tab> when inserting a link should move the cursor to the next brackets

Use case or problem

When clicking CMD-K to insert a new link ([]()), the cursor starts within the [] brackets to enter the name of the link. Hitting <tab> from here should put the cursor into the () brackets, and hitting shift-tab should move it back to [] (maybe with selecting the content within those brackets.

Hitting tab again should then place the cursor after the link, so after the closing ) bracket.

Currently hitting tab within [] will just insert a tab, and to go to the next field I have to use the arrow keys

This is the normal behavior in most snippet managers, editors and IDEs

Agreed. Addressing this will be appreciated by my wrists.

I would love this. I hope it will work for inline LaTeX too.
