This feature is both a blessing and a curse. It allows you to tab through dialogue boxes, but it also forces you to tab through all the buttons on all of your applications.

If you used to use tab in iTunes to go from the search to the playlists to the song field, for example, it now tabs through a lot of new fields you don’t want.

I hope apple will separate this feature into two options. Seems like its everything or nothing right now.

Oops! I just caused the wordpress database to error out by adding the quincunx symbol, it’s showing up as a question mark… Oh well, it’s the “apple key” on the left of the spacebar.

Zak, do you mean switching between windows in an application? If so, that’s done with apple(?)+tilde(˜) keystroke.

Nice!

Now if only I could alt + tab between instances of the same application on a mac, I’d be set.
