- Now, I just feel I have to comment this.
- (1) Which key is easiest to find of TAB and ENTER?
- Answer: ENTER
-
- (2) Which action is most frequent of 'Next Field' and 'Accept Screen'?
- Answer: 'Next Field'
-
- So why the heck are they not using ENTER for 'Next Field'?????
-
- I just *HATE* when TAB moves to next field and ENTER accepts the stuff
- by mistake when you really wanted next field!!!!
-
- I will *NEVER* follow such a stupid standard if I can avoid it!
-
- Just my opinion, you guys don't have to agree!
