Cycling through Constructs
The TAB key allows you to cycle through the components of a construct.
The TAB key cycles the marker forward, one component at a time, through a construct such as a matrix or a fraction. When the marker reaches the last element, it surrounds the entire construct. Then, if you press TAB again, the marker moves to the first element in the construct. TAB works only if an entire construct is outlined or if the marker is dotted.
