OB and the Tab key
Wednesday, September 27, 2006 by Chef Garry | Discussion:
My objectbar is great but it responds to the tab key. I've set a key combination that doesn't include tab (which it responds to) but every time I tab, OB opens instead. Is there a way to stop this from happening? It's driving me nuts.

I have OB hidden and the tab key causes it to appear. It doesn't matter what application I'm in, tabbing activates OB. Quite annoying as you can imagine.

I am so not seeing that.
I can imagine the annoyance. Does the tab affect the focused application (as expected) as well as OB?

Wasn't there an option related to this in older versions of ob (1.65) ? It's not there now ...

Zubaz: Yup OB has focus. I need to click back on the app for it to gain control - and tab starts it all over again.
binster: I remember that - couldn't find it anywhere.
Further. I'm beginning to suspect one of the widgets I've added to the bar. The problem only begain today and I've been playing with and adding to the bar over the last day or two (well since the release). Another thought I'll play with tomorrow is that I think the problem began about the time I anchored the bar. I'll test these out and report back in the morning.

At this point it appears that undocking the bar has resolved the issue.

How does it respond?
If you are using notepad and tap the Tab does it tab or does OB do something?
