How do I enable Tab/keyboard navigation in the Safari web browser?

Last updated on 03 Mar, 2026

Tab navigation allows users to jump quickly between links on a web page using the Tab key. Most popular web browsers allow this by default, but the Safari browser requires a small settings change to enable the feature.

  1. Open Safari and go to Settings (or press Cmd + ,).

  2. Navigate to the Advanced pane.

  3. Check the box next to "Press Tab to highlight each item on a webpage."

You can also use Option + Tab at any time to highlight links without changing your settings.
