I'm not sure whether this will work for you,
but it's a harmless play
(hang around for better suggestions ..)

Let's say we want to tab from A1 to F1,
then hard return to A2, tab to F2, and so on

In a new sheet,
Hold CTRL down, select cols A and F
Click Format Cells Protection tab Uncheck "Locked" OK
Click Tools Protection Protect Sheet OK

Try it out:
Select A1, press Tab, ENTER, Tab, ENTER ...
You'll get the zig-zag jumps: A1-F1-A2-F2-A3-F3 ...
