Tabbing between text fields does not select all #78895

Description

@lukepighetti

I'm not sure if this is browser or operating system specific, but on macOS safari there is an expectation that pressing tab to navigate between text fields should cause the destination field to select all. On flutter this does not happen and it makes navigating forms feel non-native.

Best I can tell, the behavior is to move the cursor to the first position of the first line if it's a multi-line text field, otherwise select the entire field.
