Login without a mouse? (Am I missing something)

[Xorcist]

For the life of me I can't figure out how to login using just the keyboard. It seems I need a mouse to click my user name before I can start typing in my password. Am I missing something? How can I enter my password without using the mouse? If there is no way to do this, I've very much like to see support for this added to the next version of Linux Lite, as I'm much more a keyboard user than I am I mouse user.

Tab key works for me.

TAB doesn't seem to be working with me. Unless I click my user name with the mouse, no keys seem to initiate password entry.

Same here, Xorcist.

Sorry guys. I thought you were talking login for the forum. Use autologin if wanting to bypass login screen on operating system.

To get a idea of what key does what

Code:

xfconf-query -c xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts -l -v | cut -d'/' -f4 | awk '{printf "%30s", $2; print "\t" $1}' | sort | uniq[\code]

But those keys won't kick in till after you 1st I bet.

I've got a few users on my machine, so auto-login isn't really an option. Are there any plans to address this in the next release of Linux Lite? Being a programmer, I'm 90% keyboard 10% mouse (at best). I do pretty much everything through keyboard shortcuts, etc. Just really weird I can't login without using the mouse.
