Subject:Re: Windows terminology - tabs? From:Chris Hulin <chrish -at- CTL -dot- COM -dot- CY> Date:Thu, 11 Apr 1996 09:25:41 +0300
Thanks for all the responses telling me that the tab things are called tabs.
So what do you call the key that lets you move from field to field in Windows?
It seems to me that the visual metaphor is perfect (well almost, see below)
and intuitive, but the name is not at all.
(The one thing I don't like about tabs is that when you have two rows of
them, and you pick one on the back row, the whole row comes to the front)
Any thoughtd?
