Tab key

Do you use the Tab key on your computer keyboard?

My mom is spending some time with us this week as I help her learn all about her new desktop computer.  She's doing very well, but one of the things I discovered yesterday is that she has never used the Tab key...except to indent a paragraph.

So, my tip(s) for today (or maybe just a reminder):  When you fill out any form on the internet, use the Tab key instead of using your mouse each time to move to the next box (field).
Example:  First Name [Tab]  Last Name [Tab] Address [Tab] City [Tab]

What if you get to a drop-down menu?  Often, you can just type the first letter of the word you are looking for.

What if you make a mistake?  Just use Shift+Tab.

The Tab key can also be helpful when composing an email to move between the To, Subject, and Body fields.

Alt +Tab can be used on your computer to quickly switch between programs you have open on your computer.  For Mac users, Command +Tab.  Give it a try!
