Mac tips - tab key skips forms
If you've gone from Windows to Mac, I'm sure there's one thing bugging you, and that's the behavior of the tab button on your keyboard. On windows, you can use the tab to switch between buttons, drop down menus and such, but that is not the case with your default setup on a mac. Here's how to fix it.
1) Go to System Preferences - Keyboard 2) Choose Keyboard and Text Input 3) In the bottom of this window, there are two radio buttons, where "Text boxes and lists only" is the one that is checked. Change to "All controls", and you will be able to use the tab key as you do on Windows.
