We still live in (on?) FPD26. I can already hear them "what? Windows
standard? We were far better off typing single handed... now we have to
use both hands on the keyboard and reach for the mouse every minute...
can you get us back to the old program?".
All my textbox (except EditBox) etc classes intercept the Enter in the
keypress event and emulate a Tab key. Just in case. It's not any slower
and it works.
