Tab traversal in TextArea

Question

I have the following code so that when the TAB key is pressed, focus traverses to the next field. All is well EXCEPT...before it traverses to the next field, it inserts a TAB character into the control, indenting any existing content.
I don't want that.
Help
        srcListing.setOnKeyPressed(new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
            @Override
            public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
                if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.TAB) {
                    srcDescription.requestFocus();
                    event.consume();
        });

Hi James. Your code looks ok, but the explanation is not correct:
In this example, both event filters and event handlers work.
Event filters are called during the event capturing phase of event handling.
   srcListing.addEventFilter(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
            public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
                if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.TAB) {
                    srcDescription.requestFocus();
                    event.consume();
        });Event handlers are called during the event bubbling phase.
  srcListing.addEventHandler(KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED, new EventHandler<KeyEvent>() {
            public void handle(KeyEvent event) {
                if (event.getCode() == KeyCode.TAB) {
                    srcDescription.requestFocus();
                    event.consume();
        });
