tab-key

Postby Omag 2.0 » Thu Sep 08, 2005 4:09 pm

I dunno why, but sometimes when I hit the tab-key by accident, a message will be posted while I'm still writing it. I believe it's combines with another key, like enter.

Is this part of the Yabb-code or is it just a fluke?

Cheers,

Probably one of the standard Windows key commands.

It's really annoyed me that you know! I have pressed it so many times. Infact, ever since I can remember I have battled with it. I assumed it was, as you suggest, just part of the system.  
Another thing I don't like is to do with the so called shortcuts. Now I am using Mozilla and when I click on any smilie or shortcut it takes it to the bottom of my post (which may be miles away) and not where I want it. I have to copy, delete and then paste it where I want it.

It could also be a browser shortcut depending on which one you use. I've had strange things happen when I hit a key by mistake. I rarely use the Tab key when typing so never experienced this particular problem.

Now I am using Mozilla and when I click on any smilie or shortcut it takes it to the bottom of my post (which may be miles away) and not where I want it. I have to copy, delete and then paste it where I want it.

That's why I still use IE for this forum.

I have always had the tab key highlighting a differant portion of the page. It will jump to the post button if I press it now, so I could just press the space bar to post it.
