Noticed this one a long time ago and have just gotten used to it. When you enter any action, the focus is never in the first field. It always takes exactly two presses of ‘tab’ to get to that field. I’m glad that the number of tabs is consistent, but it would be even better if it were zero

Hi Steve,

You are correct, but the focus -is- on the tabs at the top of the property page, so you can use the left and right arrows to find the property page you want. :-).

We'll look into possibly changing it for the next major release.

Yeah I noticed that. That doesn’t work very well though, as if you press right, it goes to the General tab, and then the focus slips off the tab handle, into the first edit box. Much safer to use ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab 🙂
