Help Keyboard questions

Hey all, since I got my Prime a couple weeks ago (and subsequent keyboard), I'm in love with it. I do have a couple problems I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with:
1) When filling out forms, I often use the tab key to get from box to box. This does not work. Anyway to get it to work that way, like it does on a desktop?
2) When scrolling in a webpage, I often like to use the down/up arrow keys instead of the track pad. This just brings me to every link on the page (on AF, it's a bit frustrating). Any tweaks for that?
3) Also, and I'm getting used to it, I like my cursor to be much slower (using the track pad) than is offered at stock.
I've looked through the keyboard settings and it seems there's only a couple that don't address any of these issues. Perhaps I'm just asking too much out of it, but was hoping there was a way to at least fix one of these.
Any help is greatly appreciated. :)
 
1)yep my keyboard dock uses the tab function like any other keyboard for me as well. not sure what your issue is.
2)i'm using the dolphin browser at the moment and i have no issues using the arrow keys to go up and down on the webpage. i also like to use the screen to scroll. it is more easier for me. its funny though when i go back to my laptop i try to scroll the screen like i would on my prime. lol
3)not sure on the speed of the cursor. i'm fine the way it is at the moment.

some of the issues might be browser related. i tried chrome and it is not bad, but some flash sites do not work. i do like chromes ability to sync your bookmarks from your chrome browser on your pc. i'm on dolphin now and no issues with it so far.
 
Are you using the ASUS keyboard? I switched mine to the "English(US) - Android keyboard" as I couldn't tolerate the ASUS layout when I'm not using my keyboard dock. I have noticed that sometimes when filling out forms the tab doesn't advance to the next field.
 
Yeah, perhaps it's simply user error. I've switched between the stock ICS browser (which is the only one I use on my Nexus) and Dolphin. I prefer Dolphin on tablets.
Thanks for the heads up on the Pu and Pd keys. Never used them on my laptop but will probably find more use on a tab.
