Answer 1

one way is to setting a reference of the next element. like below

<ion-content padding>
 <form (ngSubmit)="logForm()">
      <ion-item>
        <ion-label>Todo1</ion-label>
        <ion-input type="text" [(ngModel)]="todo.title1" name="title1" #a (keyup.enter)="setFocus(b)"></ion-input>
      </ion-item>
      <ion-item>
        <ion-label>Todo2</ion-label>
        <ion-input type="text" [(ngModel)]="todo.title2" name="title2" #b (keyup.enter)="setFocus(c)"></ion-input>
      </ion-item>
      <ion-item>
        <ion-label>Todo3</ion-label>
        <ion-input type="text" [(ngModel)]="todo.title3" name="title3" #c (keyup.enter)="setFocus(d)"></ion-input>
      </ion-item>
      <ion-item>
        <ion-label>Description</ion-label>
        <ion-textarea [(ngModel)]="todo.description" name="description" #d></ion-textarea>
      </ion-item>
      <button ion-button type="submit" block>Add Todo</button>
    </form>
</ion-content>

and in .ts file

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NavController } from 'ionic-angular';

@Component({
  selector: 'page-home',
  templateUrl: 'home.html'
})
export class HomePage {
todo = {}
  logForm() {
    console.log(this.todo)
  }

  setFocus(nextElement) {
     nextElement.setFocus(); //For Ionic 4
    //nextElement.focus(); //older version
  }

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController) {

  }

}
