I'm making a patch that has multiple text input fields. I'm wondering if there is a way to create a tab order, so when i push the tab key the cursor moves to the next input field.

tab-order

you can get keyboard focus into a different text area with the "select" message to it, so maybe monitor the keystrokes in each area and bang to select the next one when the user types TAB (ASCII 9).

I have never seen anything in Max to just activate it or something like that, so here's my take on it :

number boxes also have that second outlet that bangs when you hit TAB, so you can put keyboard focus into another number box with a select message as well. You can give key focus back to the overall patch (and to any [key] objects) with a "select" to [thispatcher], this is a fairly new feature.

Awesome!!! This is exactly what I was after. Totally added new dimension of ease to my patch.
