Hi Hem, When composing a message in Mail, initial focus of the keyboard should automatically be in the To field where you can enter the recipient of the note. You could then tab twice to get to the cc field, twice more to get to the Subject field, then three more to get to the body of the message. Alternatively, you can use VO navigation to get to each field along the way and use VOfn-right on a laptop to get quickly to the end, which is the body. You'll need to interact with the body when using this method in order to enter text.

I am talking about composing a new email.

That is why tab doesn’t work in this instance. If this is indeed what you are talking about. > On Sep 18, 2019, at 12:55, hemachandran karah <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear all, > > I still find it hard to get to the body field by pressing the tab button > repeatedly.
