Dialog Box with Multiple Tabs
Most
people know you can navigate through tabs in a dialog box with Ctrl + Tab and
Ctrl + Shift + Tab (to go to a previous tab) without grabbing for the mouse.
Using the Tools / Options dialog box as an
example, a faster way to get to a specific tab is to press Shift + Tab to put
focus on the tab row as soon as the dialog box opens, then type the first
letter of the desired tab.
What to do if
two tabs have the same first letter and you want the second tab? Hit the letter a second time.
When you have selected the desired tab, you
can now tab through the options and use the spacebar to select or deselect
options or press Alt + the underlined letter to go straight to an option. Press Enter to accept changes and close the dialog box.
