Tab Upwards

Posted on 05.11.04. Tagged with , , All

Holy freakin cow. Why didn't anybody ever tell me you could tab upwards by holding the shift key down while you hit tab. I discovered it by complete accident (my fingers dont like this keyboard much.... I should go search for my Microsoft Natural Keyboard in the garage...)

I learn something new everyday, heh.

I thought that was just common sense. Shift always reverses the direction of keyboard shortcuts. More obvious ones you may have missed:
1) In an MDI application (like Paint Shop Pro or whatever), CTRL-Tab changes which child window is active. Shift-CTRL-Tab cycles through backwards. CTRL-F4 closes child windows.
2) In any window with tabs, CTRL-Tab cycles through tabs, left to right. Shift-CTRL-Tab goes from right to left.

Oops, I have more but I have to go. Later.

(BTW you were such a lamer in your first post =)
