How do you "X" a box without the mouse?
« on: July 22, 2010, 08:48:14 AM »
...like when you login here on Computer Hope.  I can type in my username then password and using the tab key I move down to the box to keep me logged in but how can I check the box without using the mouse?

Well, I guess it's not really a shortcut. It's just the method of filling a checkoff box.
