That's a HTML thing. From Wilbur (about the INPUT tag)
The ACCESSKEY and TABINDEX attributes apply to all input types except
hidden. ACCESSKEY specifies a single Unicode character as a shortcut key
for giving focus to the form control. Authors can set the access key on
the INPUT element or the LABEL element associated with it. Entities (e.g.
é) may be used as the ACCESSKEY value.
The TABINDEX attribute specifies a number between 0 and 32767 to indicate
the tabbing order of the element. A form control with TABINDEX=0 or no
TABINDEX attribute will be visited after any elements with a positive
TABINDEX. Among positive TABINDEX values, the lower number receives focus
first. In the case of a tie, the element appearing first in the HTML
document takes precedence.
