Hello Option tab moves to the next edit box or popup menu, but how about all the other controls like check boxes and buttons? Thanks Edward

Bring up the preferences menu for Safari (Command-Comma). Either interact (VO-Shift-Down Arrow), or use Control-F5 (shortcut to move to title bar). Then tab, right arrow or VO-Right arrow to "Advanced" and press (VO-Space). VO-Right arrow to the checkbox for "Press tab to highlight each item on a web page". When this is checked, pressing tab forward cycles between all available items and option tab moves between text boxes and pop up menus. When it is unchecked, tab only moves between text boxes and pop up menus and you have to use option tab to move to all items. Holding down the shift key with either the tab or option tab sequences will reverse the direction in which you move through fields on a web page.
