Tabbing to all controls in Mac OS X

I’ll bet you’re all getting sick of all these computer posts, eh? Frankly, so am I. :) Whenever I try to browse the web on a Mac (usually in FireFox, but sometimes in SafarI), I go crazy because I use the keyboard a lot. When a login form presents itself, I type in my username, Tab, password, Tab+space to check the “remember me” checkbox. I also like to tab to buttons.

By default, the Mac only tabs to inputs and textareas, but you can change it in System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts:

Keyboard Mouse Prefs
If you don’t see what you’re supposed to change, it’s the “All Controls” radio button at the bottom of the dialog box.

    Why didn’t you keep all your everything on PC and just buy the Mac for video….

    You would be popping a lot less tylenol these days…

    i have the opposite problem. Tabbing to too many controls drives me nuts on the PC. Where do you change it there?
