[chandler-users] Keyboard Shortcut Conflict in OS X

We've actually changed the keyboard shortcuts for next/previous date 
several times now, in an attempt to not conflict with selection 
shortcuts.  As it happens, I was bit by our previous shortcuts 
(ctrl+arrow) on Windows, and now that I've switched to a Mac I get bit 
by the new ones.

I'm not entirely sure why we've tried to stay with consistent shortcuts 
between Mac and Windows; probably the right thing to do would be to use 
ctrl+arrow on Mac and alt+arrow on Windows/Linux.

This one hasn't bothered me much, I'm so used to this behavior in the 
browser.  But I can see an argument for having tab insert whitespace 
instead of change focus for the body field.

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
