Do you ever want to box your Mac in it’s pretty little face when you’re filling out an online form and can’t tab to the drop down boxes? By default, Macs don’t tab to drop down boxes. This might be especially troublesome for those who have switched from Windows to a Mac. Worry not, my friends! There is an easy fix!

Simply go to System Preferences —> Keyboard and Mouse —> Keyboard Shortcuts. Then just change the “Full Keyboard Access” setting at the bottom to “All Controls.” Done! Enjoy drop down box bliss!
