In this video I’ll show you how to set the cursor focus and tab order for widgets with tkinter.

Setting the focus (which widget the mouse cursor is set to by default) is as easy as setting the .focus() function of that widget.

Setting the tab order can be easy or hard. I’ll show you two methods to do it, one by defining them in a specific order, the other by using the lift() function.
