Whenever a text box or the URL bar is selected, I'm unable to go Back, Forward or switch between Tabs. This is extremely irritating, as having to click off a text box defeats the whole point of a keyboard command! Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Yeah, but if theres a page with a few text boxes, you end up tabbing into another text box. A good example is if I was copying text into a reply post here, would be much more work efficient if I could switch tabs, and come back to a tab and be where I left off...i.e. in the text box. I'm sure Safari 2 didn't do this - but it could be because I assigned a different key command for switching tabs, but now I've gotten used to Safari's command.
I agree this is very annoying. I've been frustrated by this problem for a long time as well, but no idea what we can do about it...
Found the actual command: CMD+Shift+[ or ] works fine. It is just when the arrows are used, because they also act as a command in a text box. Really irritating. I never use CMD+Shift+Arrows in a text box to highlight stuff.
