Is seamless tabbing in scorm/html output possible?

Using Captivate 10(2017) , publishing Scorm 1.2 output via .zip file.

My Captivate course has exercises that require users to enter data in a field and click the [Tab] key to move to another input field in the exercise.

In preview mode, this works fine. However when the course is published and launched via a browser (Chrome in my case), when I click the [Tab] key, control moves out of the Captivate course/exercise to the browser.

In reading old posts for publishing via .swf, "Seemless tabbing" seems to be the answer. But the option to turn this on appears to only be available when publishing to .swf.

Is there some way, when publishing a Captivate course for Scorm 1.2 in .zip format to utilize the [Tab] key in my exercises and prevent the [Tab] key from moving out to the browser?

SCORM can be either htm/swf or HTML5. So are you publishing perhaps to SCORM as HTML5?

Yes, (due to the impending demise of Flash). When I select the option to publish Scorm 1.2 in HTML5, the option/checkbox for 'Seamless Tabbing (IE only)' disappears.

That is correct. Seamless Tabbing is a feature that ONLY applies to SWF.

For HTML5 content, if you want to control tab order, you need to set all objects on screen to be interactive objects. That means Text Entry Boxes and Smart Shape Buttons (even if you don't intend the buttons to be clickable).

There is an option in Preferences > Project > Publish Settings to Restrict Keyboard Tabbing to Slide Items Only. Do you have that selected?
