Is the Tab key no longer used?
I've recently upgraded to the 2024 version of HyperWorks from the 2022 edition. In previous versions of the "new" GUI, you could use the 'Tab' key to transfer from one selection field to the next. For example, in the split by surface tool you could select one surface and then click tab to move to the other surface selection box. This doesn't seem to be working in the current version I am using. Did that go away or is it something I need to manually turn on?
Same issue using 'Tab' to adjust the orientation of a circle, or any shape. The drop down still says you can use 'Tab' to snap to an alternate orientation but it clicking tab does nothing. See picture of current 2024 version drop down menu when drawing a circle.
There's no consistent way to get the alternate orientation using your mouse so I'm really missing the tab option. Is there something I'm missing? Can I bring back my 'Tab' function?

Does the middle mouse button also follow the former tab function between selection boxes or does it still work as "submit"?

Yes and Yes, how about that for an answer ;)
Depends on where the focus of the tool is. If is is in a selection box if will go to next input and so on.
Example
MMB goes from surface input to line input to submit in this tool
