Re: Tab to NSButtons as nextKeyView

The Mac OS X defaults allow the user to tab through multiple NSTextFields by default linked using nextKeyView, but doesn't respect nextKeyView for NSButtons unless they mark it in their preferences. That is an inconsistency, as I see it, in the developers ability to design the user experience for individual applications.

I wonder why it is not default selected, and an option to turn it off. And, why do NSTextFields tab between them using nextKeyView even when the keyboard preference is off?

I may open a DTS Ticket about it.

Any other comments?

Thanks,
Pete Gordon

Windows.

Any other thoughts or ideas, on setting tab ordering for users in IB
so that it works with the default installed Mac OS X preferences.

It _does_ work as intended. No need to change anything.
