Tabbing to Select Drop Downs on the Mac

Okay, so I’ve only had the new MacBook Pro for a few weeks, and one thing that has been bugging the ever loving CRAP out of me is the default setting for keyboard shortcuts. I’m a coder and writer, so I hate to take my hands off the keyboard. When I visit a web page, I tend to tab around to fill in a form. Unfortunately, I found that the Mac was skipping drop down (or select) fields, meaning that I had to reach for ze mouse.

Not anymore! I went to System Preferences> Keyboard & Mouse and selected All Controls under Full Keyboard Access. No more problems.
