Hi folks – I know it’s 7 years after this thread started, but I made a solution that does not depend on knowing what the first field is in the after_title field group.
https://gist.github.com/petertwise/8ebb6a76f018494fcc62171d622cc85f
// Admin Functions
( function( $ ) {
// better accessiblity and data entry for ACF
$(document).ready( function() {
// if there is a an "after_title" field group
if ( $( '#acf_after_title-sortables' ).length ) {
// listen for keydown inside the main title field for any add/edit screen
$('body.post-new-php, body.post-php').on( 'keydown', '#title', function( e ) {
var keyCode = event.keyCode || event.which;
// if the key is tab
if ( 9 == keyCode ) {
// don't do the normal core WP behavior
e.preventDefault();
// find the first field in the after_title area
$( '#acf_after_title-sortables .inside > div:first-child' )
.find( ':input:not([type=hidden])' )
.focus();
}
} );
}
} );
} )( jQuery );
