rkraybill Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I began using VW2013 this morning - with the newly minted SP1 installed. I can't tab between fields in the Move command palette. Are others experiencing similar problems? When I hit the tab key to advance from the "X offset" to the "Y offset" nothing happens other than the "X offset" is no longer selected. Hitting the tab key a second time re-selects the "X offset". I can use the mouse to advance to the next field, but this is a slower way to use a tool that we use often. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee Tamsin Slatter Posted October 12, 2012 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 12, 2012 Hi Take a look at this Knowledgebase article. It will explain how to resolve it. http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/1056/Tab+key+not+working+properly+in+dialogue+boxes.+%28OSX+Only%29 Quote Link to comment

mjm Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Tamsin: In my opinion, not quite. Once the selection in System Prefs has been changed to "Text Boxes and Lists only", I can tab between fields in say the Move Selection window, but not in any fields in a custom window like Autoplot Tools for Spotlight window. Not to mention once "Text Boxes and Lists only" is impelmented it cripples keyboard access to the rest of OS X and other applications. This is poor implementation and is distinctly different than in VW 2012. Quote Link to comment
AN Design Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm having the same issue with tab issues, especially with the move tool, which I use constantly. There was no issue with this in any previous version of VW. Why can't someone fix the plug in, as I am not going to change my system preferences on my mac, just to resolve an issue that could be fixed by a SP. I'm surprised it wasn't fixed in the SP1 that was just released. Quote Link to comment
