In buffers containing widgets, such as the Customize buffers, the widgets can be either active or inactive: when you click (with the mouse or RET) on an active widget, its associated action is executed, and when you click on an inactive widget, this raises the error "Attempt to perform action on inactive widget". You can navigate among the widgets by pressing TAB or S-TAB to move point to the next or previous widget. I think it would be useful and convenient to skip over inactive widgets when tabbing; e.g. you then avoid accidentally tabbing to an inactive widget, typing RET and getting the error, and in a buffer with many active and inactive widgets, you can tab more quickly to the desired active widget by skipping over the inactive ones. The attached patch implements this behavior. Since tabbing to inactive widgets has always been the behavior in the widget library, skipping is conditioned on the value of a boolean defcustom, with the default being the current non-skipping.
