I would like to use a key other than "tab" to advance to the next text field, so that users can use a numeric keypad to enter something like "11-22-33" and have 11, 22 and 33 end up in different text fields.


I'd suggest not using a different key from 'Tab', since that's very much hardwired into every Mac user.

I don't want to replace it, just duplicate it's functionality for the '-' key. Reason being that there is no tab key on a numeric keypad.

Alternative, why not just detect when the field has the required number of characters and move to the next field automatically? For numeric entry this is much more user-friendly.

The number of digits in the field is variable.

Thanks

Gerd
