Hi all Not a lot know this I don't think, but it is possible to navigate the Mac similar to Windows. For example, there is something in the keyboard pain of System Preferences that allows one to tab and shift-tab between controls. Also, VoiceOver can automatically interact with tables, lists and other controls when the tab or shift-tab key is pressed. This can be found in the navigation category of the VoiceOver Utility. Finally, Safari allows you to navigate between elements with tab and shift-tab as well. This can be found in the advanced pain of Safari's preferences.
