Do average users, let's say facebook's audience, use tab to navigate between fields? I always assumed tab usage was mostly reserved for the geekier keyboard/hotkey using crowd.
Article says: "This is because users don’t have to tab as much."
Strongly disagree - 'average', non-technical users simply don't tab between fields. They mouse and click, mouse and click, etc.
I can't remember ever seeing a user in a field test (I do UI testing) use tab to traverse a form.
