Once upon a time...there was a request submitted to be able to tab through a screen with drop down fields.

Now that the speed issues have improved significantly, any chance this could get done?

Thanks Mahlon, for reporting this issue. I will create a ticket for this to make it more efficient in terms of searching and selecting without using mouse.

So let's say you create a new activity, here is how it should work....

Type your comments and press tab.
Cursor should move to Contact field.
Instead of using the mouse to select a contact, simply begin typing a name and press enter to select to select the contact
Then press tab to move to the assigned to field.
Repeat the process.

This will be a pretty significant productivity issue in some applications.

Hello Mahlon,

I tired to tab through the screen that has dropdown field, it seems to be working fine. Can you give me more detail or particular area where you want me to test it. Although I recently found a bug where on the New Invoice screen, if you search for a customer on the dropdown on New invoice screen who is not in your account and then you try for a customer in your account it does not show up.

I have already created a ticket for that. But regarding the Tab through the screen let me know if it is on a particular screen.

Tab through screen with drop down fields

It doesn't seem like I can tab through a screen that has drop-down fields and type the values. It forces you to use the mouse to click and select, or search for the value.

Am I missing something?
