Want to Change Focus from first textbox to next textbox?

Want to change focus from the first textbox to next one,(change focus to next child or previous child). when I Press Enter/Return Key ( as like tab Key) . Attach my code. (First File: example_main_file.py) and the second one is ( example_source_file.py) . How to resolve?

First File - ( example_main_file.py)

You can connect the returnPressed signal of your QLineEdits to set the focus of the next widget, e.g.

self.textbox1.returnPressed.connect(lambda: self.textbox2.setFocus(Qt.ShortcutFocusReason))

Also, you can set the objectName of your widgets with a keyword argument and save a line of code, e.g.

self.textbox1 = QLineEdit(self, objectName = 'textbox1')

I only worked with your example_main_file.py. I think this gives the behahavior you want:

import sys

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import  *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *

      
# ~ from example_source_file import Sourcefile

item1 = ["Python", "Python 2.7", "Python 2.9", "Python 3.5", 
         "Python 3.7", "National", "Zebra", "Apple", "X Ray", "Boat", 
         "Tiger", "Item001", "Item002", "Item003", "Item004", "Item005",
         "001Item", "002Item", "003Item", "004Item", "005Item", "Ball",
         "Cat", "Dog", "Fish", "Gold Fish", "Star Fish", "2821", "2822",
         "2823", "2811", "2812", "2813"]

item2 = ["India","America","Russia","China","England","Iran","Iraq","Ice Land"]

item3 = ["FootBall","Volly Ball","Basket Ball","Ball","Hand Ball", 
         "Rugby","Cricket", "Long Jump","High Jump"]

class Check(QWidget):

    def __init__(self):

        self.textbox1.setGeometry(100, 100, 300, 30)
        self.textbox2 = QLineEdit(self, objectName = 'textbox2')
        self.textbox2.setGeometry(100, 150, 300, 30)
        self.textbox3 = QLineEdit(self, objectName = 'textbox3')
        self.textbox3.setGeometry(100, 200, 300, 30)
