Tab key doesn't switch to new cells

My tab key will not switch to next cell on web pages or spread sheets. Did I accidental change the task of the key? When I press it in excel it activates the edit.

In Firefox 5, when I open a new tab, Firefox doesn't switch to it immediately (unlike previous versions). How can I restore this setting?

When opening a new tab Firefox stays on the old tab and doesn't switch to the new one. I couldn't fing where to fix this (in the tools)

Just found out that FoxTab 1.4.2b is causing this problem. Solution? Disable it.

In the expression editor dialog box my TAB key doesn't function correctly

This is bizarre behavior that seems to have started recently.
In Visual Studio 2012, an SSRS project, any expression editor dialog:
The tab key doesn't work right.
Open the expression editor and:
* I see a blinking cursor and I can type in the expression box.
* If I hit the tab key, the cursor disappears and I cannot type. I appear to lose focus in the editor but focus doesn't appear to go anywhere else in the dialog box.
* If I hit the tab key a 2nd time, the cursor is still gone and I cannot type.
* If I hit the tab key a 3rd time, I can finally type again and note that I am now
3 tabstops in. In other words it seems like the tabs were working but I lost the ability to type anything until I "tab" 3 magical times.
I can work around this by hitting tab key then grabbing the mouse and clicking where the cursor SHOULD be which returns focus to the text area.
Hopefully this image helps clarify:
Anybody know what is wrong?

Hi Bostaevski,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to your description, as you said that the cursor disappears and cannot type issue. It seems that the issue may be not Visual Studio the VS IDE issue.
In addition, I find a similar thread about the
Expression Editor Cursor Issue,
please see:
http://www.beta.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedbackdetail/view/780682/vs-2012-rdlc-expression-editor-cursor-issue#.
Therefore, I suggest you could also try to press alt with left and right arrow keys and check if it is works fine.
Thnank for your understanding!

"Tab" key doesn't work with e-mail

Having to change from MSN.com In e-mail with MSN the tab key worked fine. When using Firefox to access my new e-mail accounts on q.com I can no longer use the tab key. Doesn't work. ZIP. Nadda. I often have to send e-mails that have columns of figures and the tab key makes it easy. Tab key doesnt work if acessing hotmail either from FireFox. Wokrs ok from MSN/hotmail. This makes me think the problem is FireFox.
TIA

My Tab key doesn't work in Yahoo email!

I changed from Internet Explorer. Now, when I use my tab key, it doesn't tab over the cursor in my email message. There is a retry connect message at bottom right of my screen. Any resolution for this problem?

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I installed tabinta and it does not seem to allow me to insert tabs into the message composition area of a new Yahoo! Mail message. No tabinta entry appears in the context menu while on http://us.mg201.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch? pages. I'm using Windows 7.
I feel like I'm missing something simple here... Thanks!

Tab key doesn't navigate to a CheckBox in Firefox

Hello,
when I press the tab key to move to the next field, the cursor doesn't move to a checkbox. It jumps to the next "non-check-box" field. Any ideas why this happens in FireFox ? IE seems to be ok.
Thanks,
Andreas

Command tab - window doesn't switch

I use Command+tab to switch between windows. But many a times the window doesn't switch to, rather I get the options at the toolbar.
This is exactly the problem reported here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3458920?start=0&tstart=0
How can I resolve this issue?

Just found out that FoxTab 1.4.2b is causing this problem. Solution? Disable it.

JTable tab key navigation with JComboBox Cell Editors in Java 1.3 & 1.4

Hello - this is one for the experts!
I have a JTable which has an editable JComboBox as one of the cell editors for a particular column. Users must be able to navigate through the table using the tab key. After editing a cell a single tab should advance the cell selection to the next column and then the user should just be able to start typing to populate the cell.
However, i've come across some really frustrating differences between the Swing implementation of JDK1.3.1_09 and JDK 1.4.2_04 which means this behaviour is very different between versions!....
1. Editing Cells and then advancing to the next column using tab.
Using standard cell editors (based around JTextFields) in 1.3.1 the user has to press tab twice to traverse to the next column after editing. However, in 1.4.2 a single tab key is enough to move to the next column after editing.
2. Editable JComboBox editors and and advancing to the next column using tab.
Using JDK 1.3.1, having entered some text in the editable combo it takes 2 tabs to transfer the selected cell to the next column. With 1.4.2 a single tab while editing the editable combo ends editing and transfers the selection out of the table completely?!?
With these 2 issues I don't know how to make a single tab key reliably transfer to the next cell, between java versions. Can anyone please help me?!??!
(i've attached test code below which can be run in both 1.3 and 1.4 and demonstrates the above behaviour.)
package com.test;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.table.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
public class TableTest4 extends JFrame {
     private JTable table;
     private DefaultTableModel tableModel;
     public TableTest4() {
          initFrame();
      * Initialises the test frame.
     public void initFrame() {
          // initialise table
          table = new JTable(10, 5);
          tableModel = (DefaultTableModel) table.getModel();
          table.setPreferredScrollableViewportSize(table.getPreferredSize());
          table.setRowHeight(22);
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
          getContentPane().add(scrollPane);
          JButton dummyBtn1 = new JButton("Dummy Button 1");
          JButton dummyBtn2 = new JButton("Dummy Button 2");
          // initialise frame
          JPanel btnPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(2, 1));
          btnPanel.add(dummyBtn1);
          btnPanel.add(dummyBtn2);
          getContentPane().add(btnPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
          // set renderer of first table column to be an editable combobox
          JComboBox editableCombo = new JComboBox();
          editableCombo.setEditable(true);
          TableColumn firstColumn = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
          firstColumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(editableCombo));
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          TableTest4 frame = new TableTest4();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);

Run the above code in 1.3 and 1.4 and you can see that after editing a cell, the tab key behaviour works differently between versions.
I don't believe by adding a key listener to the cell editors will have the desired effect.
I've read other posts and from what i've read it looks like the processKeyBinding method of the JTable can be overridden to manually handle key events.
Has anyone done this to handle tab key presses so that the same java app running under 1.3 and 1.4 works in the same way ??? I would really appreciate some advice on this as its very frustrating !

Curious question about tab key selecting?

I'm not sure how to word this query so try to bare with me.
I sometimes use the tab key to select the next file or folder instead of the arrow keys, but I've noticed that when I have a series of folders and/or files that are in numerical order, the tab key doesn't select the files and folders in the order that they are listed it selects them in a order that is similar to alphabetical order.
Such as this:
This is an example of the file names and the numerical order they're listed in:
9
28
29
30
40
300
2006
2025
A
This is the order the tab selects the same files:
2006
2025
28
29
30
300
40
9
A
If the 9 file is selected then I hit tab key to select the next file, the next files selected is A it will skip over the other files. The arrow Keys don't do this.
My question is why is this the case?
Not really a big deal but I was curious why it does that.

You are correct for the use you've described - using tab in list view, also in icon view. The tab key moves in alpha-numeric sequence but the numeric is by 1st numeral, 2nd numeral, etc if two or more have the same first numeral not by total number size.
The arrow keys are essentially directional. In icon view you use L/R to move to the next item and up/down to move vertically.
This is the standard use but individual applications use these keys differently. In a table/database it's common for the tab to move from cell to cell and the arrow keys to move through the characters in a cell but even these can depend on the particular software package.
This is all part of the learning curve for computer users!

JTable TAB key listener

Hi all:
I'm trying to write a filterable jtable. User can input the filter rule in the table header and the table displays the filtered data at the same time when the user inputs letters. The table filter works fine. But when I try to add "TAB" key listener, I find that I can't track the "TAB" key. I use a customerized cell renderer to display the filterable table header, a customerized cell editor to edit the filterable table header. The cell editor is created like this:
JTextField textField = new JTextField("");
DefaultCellEditor cellEditor = new DefaultCellEditor(textField);
And I add a KeyListener to the textField. The KeyListener can track other keys like "Shift", "Alt", "Ctrl", but it can't track "TAB". It's weird. I also add the KeyListener to JTableHeader, JTable, but when I edit something in the JTextField, I still can't catch the "TAB" key. Have any ideas? Thank you for your time.

by default the Tab is used (and consumed) by
focusManager to move focus between components. If you
want to get it in a component you have to signal the
manager to keep it's hands off. How to do so depends
on the jdk version. Focus handling changed
considerably between 1.3 and 1.4: Prior to 1.4 you
have to subclass the component in question to return
true on isManagingFocus(), since 1.4 you have to set
the comp's focusTraversalKeys to make the manager take
those instead of the default keys.
Greetings
JeanetteThanks Jeanette, it works. I use the Component.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false) to disable all traversal keys of JTextField and add a KeyEventDispatcher to the KeyboardFocusManager. It finally works. Users can use "TAB" keyStroke and "Shift-TAB" keyStroke to traverse in the filterable table header now. Thank you for your great help and the $$ are yours.

TAB key isn't available in swing applications on Linux

Hello,
I have a small Swing application, everything works fine except that TAB key isn't available within java
application. I tried several JVM (IBM and Sun JVM from 1.2.2 to 1.4.0_b92) and two Red Hat release (6.2 and 7.2), I had no success with TAB key. The same application works perfectly on Windows for example. Can this problem have something to do with a bad Xmodmap file? I tried with a standard Xmodmap file (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/xmodmap.std), but TAB key was still unavailable. On non-java application, TAB key is available normally.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean that
(1) when you are running a swing application and you press the tab key expecting focus traversal, nothing happens?
OR
(2) when you are listening for KeyEvent within your application, tab key doesn't give you KeyEvent.VK_TAB?
OR
(3) something else?
I have no Linux but would try to offer suggestions if I understood better.

How to stop firefox from switching to new tab?

The issue I am dealing with is that I want Firefox to open all links in a new tab but not to switch to them automatically. I have checked all the settings in the Tools >> Options >> Tab menu and I have them all checked except for the last two. I am on Firefox version 36.0.1 and I have refreshed Firefox several times and have deleted and recreated a new profile. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing or are there some settings in the About:Config that can be changed to make this happen?

Firefox doesn't have a built-in feature to divert ALL links to a new tab, only the choice of diverting links coded to open in a new window to a new tab instead.
What you are describing in your Tab Options is correct for the built-in feature. Some sites that use scripts instead of normal links might not be handled correctly, so if this is site-specific, we could look at the site and give you suggestions for workarounds.
I think you will need an add-on to handle other links. Hopefully one of the ones in the earlier post will help: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1052093#answer-704101

DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
Steps Performed:-
1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.
