I use the item chooser a whole lot. I also use vo/left and right arrows and
vo/a to read text. It works very nicely for me. I browse links with the tab
key if I don't have a specific thing in mind to look for with the item chooser.
Occasionally I use the web rodor, but not that much.

My tab key seems to only find the links, no other elements or text on the page.
Maybe I can set it up so it behaves a bit differently this way. thanks.

One place I have noticed that the tab key works better then VO-J or VO arrow
keys is on an HTML form where certain components of the form are hidden until
other items are selected. I see this in the "connect to" page of

Hi Anne,
I also have my Tab key set to highlight every item on a web-age. Off-
hand, I can't describe a specific instance where tab has taken me
somewhere that the arrow keys didn't, but it's happened on Facebook,
it's happened in the Itunes store, and I think other sites as well.

Hi Ann,
I went into Safari and my advanced setting matches what you described to Donna.
It's a checkbox and on my system is checked and highlights items when the tab
key is pressed. Thanks.

I use a combination of the tab key, Web item rotor, and arrow keys on the
Internet. In most cases, the tab key is easier for me to use when accessing

Hello Donna,
You can choose the behaviour of the Tab key in Safari by going to the Advanced
tab in Safari Preferences. I have Option-Tab set to highlight every item on a
web page, which means that Tab alone will go to the next editable field if I
have already interacted with HTML Content, or wi
Hi Les,
Well, glad I'm not the only one who's developed a preference for the
Tab key, at least, as you said, in certain situations. I know what
you mean, there are times when I've been looking around for something
and not finding it, and then, when I use the Tab key, I often find it

Hi Ricardo,
Can relate to the elevated blood pressure and--in my case, greying--
hair. *grin* I haven't tried using Vo-J in Safari. For whatever
reason, that just didn't occur to me. I'll play around with it, and
see how things go. I'm still curious about the Tab key though. It's

Donna, obviously, I'm not Ann. I resisted using the tab key for a while, but
now prefer it in certain situations. The other day, I was on the CNN FN site
and wished to get a mutual fund quote. The tab key placed me right on the edit
field for the symbol I wanted to key in. Sometimes I use it
Hi Donna,
I have found that using VO command J produces better, more consistent, results
than using tab when trying to navigate a page by its control elements like,
edit fields, buttons, etc. This along with VO command L to navigate by links,
has made surfing the web on my Mac a lot more enjo
Hi Anne,
I'm wondering if you could say more about the Tab key in Safari? In
previous messages you have recommended that new users not use it, and
I have tried to follow that advice. However, I've also found that
there are situations when I can navigate to places with the Tab key,
that I
