You could use oraterm to change the resource file, and (for example) make Tab into KEY-F9. Then put a Form level trigger into all your forms:   TRIGGER KEY-F9   DO_KEY('NEXT_FIELD'); So, in most cases, Tab will do the same thing as Return(*). You can then differentiate when you wish.

(*) Some places it won't: acknowledging messages, moving between buttons on Forms' pop-ups etc.
