Full Keyboard Access in Safari 1.2 is Useless
Authored by: J on Feb 10, '04 04:53:08PM
As ridiculous as this poor implementation is, it is made even worse by the fact that you cannot tab into a select list then type letters to jump to that location in the list. Without that the "Full Keyboard Navgiation" is useless to me.

You can, however tab into a checkbox or radio button and press [space] to toggle its selection.

Full Keyboard Access in Safari 1.2 is Useless
Authored by: J on Feb 10, '04 04:58:47PM
I just checked out Dave Hyatt's update notes and found this:
Another complaint I've seen on forums was that you couldn't type letters to have the popup jump directly to a selected item (e.g., typing "U" to jump to "United States"). Again, we obey the OS behavior, which does allow this, but only after you hit the spacebar when the control has the keyboard focus. Multi-letter typing is supported to complete to a specific item. Try it. You'll like it. :)
