If I'm on a website like Facebook for example and I enter a new status on my PC you could just hit tab and spacebar and it would "share" it. When I click tab on my mac with any website that has such a function it skips over that part and I have to manually mouse the pointer to the button and click it.

Can you just "tab & spacebar" to submit things on a Mac? Is there a different shortcode for it or something?

Thanks!

Really? I wonder why it doesn't work for me then. Tab works to move to other options but it always skips a button that performs an action such as "submit" or "share" or "post" or something of that nature.

Don't get this. On mine it tabs me to the next section available to type text. It works on this website if I press tab then spacebar to submit a reply but not on facebook, twitter or other websites.
 
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > ALL CONTROLS

Just changed to "All Controls" and it still does the same thing. Just tried to post a new Facebook status to test and tab to submit it. Didn't work.
 
Could it be a browser thing? Are you using Safari?

I have a site for work that I can only use in firefox and I have the same issue. I figured it was just something wrong with the program.

I'm using Firefox. Weird thing is I just tried in Safari and it worked fine. Went back to Firefox and tried again and now it works perfectly.
