There is only one forum so far that I have visited where I can type my message then Tab to cycle down to the Submit New Thread. It doesn't work on this site, I have to use my touch pad or mouse and click on the Submit New Thread. Is there some command I can use to get out of the text field and Tab cycle to the Submit New Thread?

From a quick test, it seems as if the fields the tab function cycles through may be more related to the particular browser than the site you are on.

I primarily use Opera. It tabs from the Quick Reply screen to "Go Advanced" and does not tab to "Post Quick Reply". Once on the advanced posting page it does tab to "Submit Reply"

Both Firefox and Safari in the Quick Reply screen tab to "Post Quick Reply" and will not tab to "Go Advanced".

In my test, although did not write it all down, each of the three browsers from this same page, tab through different functions in a different order in each.

Thanks! You are correct, in the Quick Reply Tab Cycling works fine, of course not all sites have quick reply and if you quote someone you can't cycle to the submit reply. :radioacti

I borrowed one of our OS X training DVD's and with the help of the DVD I figured out how to get the cycle to work. Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Access>All Controls. FTW!
