Menu
In Windows, in any windows form or web browser, you can use the tab button to switch focus through all of the form fields.
It will stop on textboxes, radiobuttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, etc.
However, in Mac OSX, tab skips dropdown menus. Is there anyway to change this behavior, or access the above items mentioned, without using a mouse?

On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Notifications & Focus . Click Focus, then select a Focus. In the Turn On Automatically list, click the Add button , then choose whether to schedule the Focus based on time, location, or app.
Use Alt + Down Arrow keys (Windows and Linux) or Option + Down Arrow keys (Mac) to open drop-down lists that do not have an Apply or Go button, and then use the Down Arrow, Up Arrow and Enter keys to select an item in the drop-down.
Move between tabs: Click a tab or swipe left or right in the tab bar with two fingers. You can also press Control-Tab or Control-Shift-Tab to go to the next or previous tab. Reorder tabs: Drag a tab left or right.
Focus is a tool designed for your Mac that allows you to instantly block off all online and offline distractions of your choice on your computer.
Go to System Preferences > Keyboard and Mouse, then choose Keyboard Shortcuts. At the bottom, ensure Full Keyboard Access is set to "All controls". It's a long time since I turned it on but I think that's all you need to do

Apple Menu > System Preferences > Keyboard & Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts:
Change the radio button at the bottom from "Text boxes and lists only" to "All controls."
Edit: Dammit. We're a fast group around here aren't we? :-)
