#@&............@!

OK, no kidding, the following talk about Windows system under the various uses of the TAB key, please bypass, will not please bench.

Basic usage

Focus on the Next button, input box, or link. For example: Close an unsaved Notepad, will pop up a hint, at this point, the "Yes" button has a dotted box, if you press a space or enter the equivalent of the mouse click on the "Yes" button. Want to use the keyboard to "click" "No" button, press the TAB key, the dotted box will be transferred to the "no", and then press the space on it. There is also a very common use, in the login forum or QQ, enter the account number, do not need to use the mouse to click the Password box, just press the TAB key can position the cursor to the password box. If you want to navigate in turn, press the key SHIFT + TAB.

2. Quick renaming

In Vista or Windows Server 2008, the TAB key also has a magical usage: Select an icon on the desktop, press F2 to enter the rename state, after renaming, and then press the TAB key, will go to the next file rename state. To rename the previous file in turn, you can press the combination key Shift + Tab. It is convenient to rename multiple files.

3. Switch windows

Old birds often use the ALT + Tab key combination to quickly switch windows. This key combination allows you to quickly switch to the previous window by pressing the ALT key and pressing the TAB key. When you hold down the ALT key, pressing the TAB key will appear with the current open window icon, and then press the TAB key to toggle between each icon. Alt + Shift + Tab key is a reverse switch. Releasing the ALT key toggles the window. Under Vista, press this key combination and the window thumbnail appears.
