[Evergreen-catalogers] enhanced MARC editor in Evergreen 3.13

Hello Cataloging committee friends -
We are getting ready to upgrade to Evergreen 3.13 and are conducting trainings for our consortium.
We have been getting feedback from our catalogers that they prefer to use the keyboard only while interacting with MARC records, and are having difficulty doing so in the enhanced MARC editor.

Specifically, you cannot move up and down the record easily:
If you have your cursor in the MARC tag or indicator spots, and use the up or down arrows, your cursor moves within the selected text box. If you tab over to the subfields (either with the subfield group selected or in the individual text box for the subfield code or subfield text), the up or down arrows will move you to the MARC tag above or below your current line. However, you are then in the MARC tag box and have to tab over 3 times in order to go another line up or down.
Since this is a bit hard to explain, I've made a short video: https://www.loom.com/share/b65cf3e1df9745efb0f5a9ac99d40d44?sid=1958077e-cd5a-4146-b821-76dfa34ceb3c

So, I'm just curious about various catalogers' experiences with this before I add this to the bug - if the consensus is that this is the expected behavior, we will just include this in our trainings as something that people may need some time to get used to.
The bug mentions "different keyboard behavior" but doesn't list this as an example of one of the things that will be different.

Thanks!
Katie
