Before Filing that Keyboard Bug…

Are you using a Mac or another Apple iDevice and think you found a keyboard bug? Try:

• Enable Full Keyboard Access (FKA) on macOS from Apple Support.
• Enable Tab support in desktop Safari from Apple Support.
• Enable FKA on iOS from Apple Support.
• Enable FKA on iPadOS from Apple Support.
